EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of youth and camaraderie during the Victorian era, as a group of young people gather for a meeting in the picturesque coastal town of Whitby. Dressed in their Sunday best, the boys and girls sit attentively in a circle on the sandy beach, their expressions serious and focused. The boys wear short trousers, collared shirts, and blazers, while the girls don long dresses and bonnets, their hair neatly braided and pinned up. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the group in a soft, ethereal light. In the background, the ruins of Whitby Abbey stand tall against the sky, a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the town. The meeting could be for any number of reasons - a youth club, a religious gathering, or perhaps a study group. Regardless, the sense of community and connection is palpable. This image, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of friendship and community were cherished. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of human connection, and a reminder that, no matter the era, young people have always found ways to come together and make memories.
