EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Lerwick Pier in the Shetland Islands during the Victorian period. The image transports us to an era of simplicity and charm, as fishermen and fishwives go about their daily business at the bustling quayside. The pier, adorned with Victorian-era lanterns, stretches out into the North Sea, providing a vital link between the Shetland Isles and the outside world. Fishermen, dressed in their traditional attire, prepare their boats for another day at sea, while fishwives, clad in their colorful aprons, sort and sell the day's catch. The air is filled with the salty scent of the sea and the sound of seagulls squawking overhead. In the background, steamers and paddle steamers can be seen docking at the pier, bringing passengers and supplies to the remote islands. The Shetland Islands, located in the northernmost reaches of Scotland, were a thriving fishing community during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The islands' rich fishing grounds provided a livelihood for generations of fishermen and their families. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these hardworking people and the unique culture of the Shetland Isles during a bygone era. The photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and it is a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the most unexpected places. This vintage image is not only a stunning work of art but also a valuable historical document that transports us to a time when life was simpler, and the connection to the sea was a way of life.
