EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. In the image, a group of boys and girls are seen engaged in an age-old activity – fishing – on a pier that juts out into the harbor or port. The boys, dressed in knickers and jerseys, are intently focused on their rods, while the girls, in long dresses and bonnets, are busy baiting their hooks or chatting amongst themselves. The pier, with its weathered wooden planks and rusted metal railings, stretches out into the distance, framed by the vast expanse of the sea and the sky. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern, casting long, dancing shadows on the pier. The boys' faces are lit up with excitement and determination, their young faces etched with the joy and wonder of childhood. The girls, too, seem to be enjoying themselves, their laughter carried away by the salty breeze. The photograph is a poignant reminder of simpler times, when the pleasures of childhood were often found in the simple joys of nature and the company of friends. The boys and girls, with their fishing rods and lantern, are a testament to the enduring appeal of the seaside and the timeless activity of fishing. The image is a treasure trove of history, evoking memories of Victorian and Edwardian England and the urchins who roamed the streets and played by the harbor, seeking adventure and excitement in the most ordinary of things.
