EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portmadoc - The Harbour and the Town, 1895" takes us back in time to a charming coastal village in Wales. Captured from a panoramic perspective, this image showcases the bustling harbor of Portmadoc against the backdrop of its picturesque town. The scene is filled with activity as fishing boats dot the sea, their presence indicating the vital role that fishing played in this community's livelihood. The rooftops of quaint houses can be seen nestled among the hills, adding to the idyllic charm of this Welsh village. Transportation seems to be an integral part of daily life here; perhaps these boats were not only used for fishing but also served as a means of connecting Portmadoc with neighboring towns along the coast. This photo invites us to imagine what it would have been like to live during this era when water transport was essential for trade and communication. With its monochrome aesthetic and exquisite detail, this print transports us back to late 19th-century Britain. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that captures not only the geography but also the spirit of Portmadoc at that time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot from George Newnes' book "Round the Coast" we are reminded of how landscapes can shape communities and inspire literature. This image truly encapsulates both natural beauty and human ingenuity within one frame.
