EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "North and South Shields, 1898" takes us back in time to the coastal towns of North and South Shields in the North East of England. The image showcases a picturesque view at the mouth of the River Tyne, where a fish quay was being constructed in 1870 to provide shelter for fishing boats. The photograph is sourced from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" a book published by Cassell and Company Ltd. in London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898. It offers a glimpse into the historical significance of these towns as centers for local industry and trade during the nineteenth century. In this scenic snapshot, we see several fishing boats dotting the riverbank while fishermen go about their daily tasks. The background features an enchanting sky that adds depth to the overall composition. A lone man can be seen on one of the boats, symbolizing both resilience and solitude amidst nature's vastness. This print captures not only geographical features but also highlights elements of British history and literature through its depiction of traditional industries like fishing. It serves as a reminder of how these coastal towns played an essential role in shaping England's cultural heritage. With its timeless charm and artistic appeal, this print by an unknown creator transports viewers back to a bygone era when life revolved around riverside communities like North and South Shields.
