EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from the Whitby Victorian period, captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image transports us to the picturesque coastal town of Whitby, Yorkshire, England, during the late 19th or early 20th century. The scene unfolds on the bustling quayside, where the salty sea air mingles with the aroma of fresh fish. Fishermen, dressed in their traditional attire, are busy mending their nets and loading their boats with the day's catch. Their wives, or 'fishwives,' can be seen haggling over prices with potential buyers, their colorful aprons and baskets adding a splash of vibrancy to the otherwise monochrome scene. In the background, the silhouettes of boats and ships can be seen bobbing on the horizon, while steam-powered vessels ply the waters, heralding the advent of a new era. The lantern-lit quay, with its intricate architecture and cobblestone streets, adds to the old-world charm of this quaint English fishing village. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of Whitby and the hardworking community of fisherfolk who have made their living from the sea for generations. It's a glimpse into the past, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of fresh fish and the beauty of the sea were cherished every day.
