EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling Whitby harbour in Yorkshire during the 1920s. The image captures a moment of excitement as crowds gather along the River Esk, eagerly watching rowing boats glide through its waters. Alfieri's masterful composition perfectly frames this lively scene, showcasing both the beauty of the river and the energy of the spectators. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate every detail with clarity. Coble boats, traditional fishing vessels unique to this region, can be seen gracefully maneuvering through the water as they participate in thrilling races. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as onlookers cheer on their favorite teams. Europeana Photography has preserved this remarkable piece of heritage for future generations to enjoy and learn from. It serves as a testament to not only Yorkshire's rich maritime history but also highlights how recreational activities brought communities together even in times past. Alfieri's undated photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into a bygone era when riverside events like these were cherished social occasions. This evocative print reminds us that despite technological advancements and changing times, human fascination with sportsmanship and communal gatherings remains constant throughout history.
