EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from Mevagissey, Cornwall during the Victorian period. The quaint fishing village, nestled along the rugged Cornish coastline, is depicted in all its charm and character. Fishermen, dressed in their traditional attire, are busy mending their nets and preparing their boats for a day's catch. The women, known as fishwives, are seen sorting and selling the freshly caught fish on the quayside, their colorful aprons and basket hats adding a vibrant touch to the scene. The air is filled with the salty scent of the sea and the sound of seagulls squawking overhead. The narrow streets and cobbled alleys of the village are lined with whitewashed cottages, their windows adorned with blooming geraniums and ivy. In the background, the harbor is bustling with activity, with boats of various sizes and shapes coming in and out of the dock. This photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a fishing community in England during the late 1800s. The Edwardian period, which followed, brought about some changes to the village, but this image captures the essence of Mevagissey's rich maritime history and the simple way of life that defined it. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and authenticity of a bygone era.
