EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Fishwives of Newhaven near Edinburgh during the Victorian period. The women are depicted in their traditional attire, with scarves covering their heads and aprons tied around their waists as they go about their daily tasks. Their faces tell stories of hard work and resilience, embodying the spirit of the fishing community in Scotland.
The vintage lantern slide adds to the nostalgic feel of this image, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler yet more challenging. The early Scottish Edwardian architecture in the background serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years.
As we gaze upon this old photograph, we can't help but admire the strength and determination etched on the faces of these fishwives. They were not just providers for their families, but also integral members of a tight-knit community that relied on each other for support.
This piece from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is not just a snapshot in time; it is a window into a world that once existed, where hard work and camaraderie were essential parts of everyday life. It reminds us to cherish our history and appreciate those who came before us, paving the way for future generations.
