EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a traditional Cornish fishing boat from the Victorian period, skillfully captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The boat, with its distinctive curved bow and tall, tapered mast, is moored at the quayside, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a bustling Cornish port. In the foreground, a fishwife, dressed in the traditional attire of the era, is busy sorting and selling fish fresh from the sea. Her colorful apron and bonnet are a stark contrast against the rough, weathered wood of the boat and the gray, misty sky above. Nearby, a fisherman, clad in a heavy, waterproof coat and woolen hat, is mending his nets, preparing for another day at sea. The lantern on the quay adds a warm, inviting glow to the scene, casting long shadows on the wet cobblestones. The dock, with its tall, rustic cranes and various other boats, creates a sense of activity and industry. The harbor, with its calm, mirror-like waters, reflects the peaceful, serene atmosphere of the Cornish coastline. This vintage photograph, reminiscent of the Edwardian and early 20th century, transports us to a simpler time, where the daily rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the tide. The Cornish fishing industry, with its rich history and traditions, continues to thrive today, making this image a cherished reminder of the past.
