Fishermen at Staithes, North Yorkshire - Victorian Period
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and captivating image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph transports us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century, during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, in the quaint fishing village of Staithes, located on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England. The image showcases a group of hardworking fishermen, dressed in traditional attire, as they go about their daily tasks. Their weathered faces and calloused hands speak volumes of their long hours spent at sea, braving the elements to provide for their families and community. The men are seen mending their nets, a common activity during the off-season or inclement weather, while others load their catch onto carts or prepare their boats for the next voyage. The photograph is further enhanced by the picturesque backdrop of Staithes' narrow, cobbled streets, lined with colorful cottages, and the rugged cliffs that overlook the harbor. The scene is completed by the quaint, red-roofed lifeboat station and the quay, where the fishermen's boats are moored. The image is reminiscent of a lantern slide, with its soft focus and warm tones, which adds to the nostalgic and romantic feel of the photograph. The muted colors and grainy texture further emphasize the passage of time and the historical significance of the scene. This photograph is an invaluable record of a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the lives of the fishermen and their community during the Victorian and Edwardian periods in England. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the fishing industry and the people of Staithes to this day.
