EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1920s takes us back in time to Whitby, Yorkshire. The glass negative captures a slice of social history, showcasing a picturesque view looking up the river. In the foreground, we see a man sitting on a quay, engrossed in reading his newspaper. His straw hat and relaxed posture suggest he is enjoying a leisurely moment by the water's edge. As our gaze moves further into the frame, we are greeted by an impressive sight - a majestic sailing ship anchored in the bustling harbor. Its towering masts and billowing sails evoke images of adventure and exploration that were once synonymous with seafaring towns like Whitby. Surrounding this maritime scene are rows of charming houses and buildings that line the riverbank. Their architectural details hint at their historical significance within this coastal town. In the distance, rising above it all, stands an imposing church spire – perhaps St Mary's Church – serving as both a spiritual beacon for locals and an iconic landmark for visitors. John Short has masterfully captured this nostalgic moment in time through his lens. This print not only offers glimpses into Whitby's past but also invites us to reflect upon how life has changed over the decades since its capture.
