EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of lobster fishing in the quaint Irish village of Kilmore, circa 1900s. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of simple living and hard work by the sea. The scene is set against the backdrop of a tranquil Irish coastline, where fishermen in traditional attire wade through the shallow waters, their lanterns illuminating the way as they search for lobsters hiding in the rocky crevices. The boats, with their distinctive pointed bows, are moored nearby, ready for use. The fishermen's lanterns cast a warm, inviting glow, adding to the romantic and nostalgic feel of the image. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, with their emphasis on exploration and discovery, are beautifully captured in this photograph. The lobster fishing industry was an essential part of the local economy in Kilmore, providing sustenance and income for the community. The fishermen's dedication and perseverance are evident in their determined efforts, even in the face of the unpredictable Irish weather. This vintage photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions of Ireland's coastal communities and the important role that fishing played in shaping their way of life. It is a reminder of a simpler time, when the rhythms of nature and the sea dictated the daily lives of those who lived and worked along the Irish coast.
