EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cardiff's Mermaid Quay in 2009. The focal point of the image is a remarkable bronze statue titled "People Like Us" created by Ethel Davies and sculpted by John Clinch in 1993. Set against the backdrop of Cardiff Bay, this magnificent artwork pays homage to the hardworking individuals who once labored in the bustling commercial port known as Tiger Bay. The statue depicts a couple and their faithful dog, gazing out over the sea with a sense of tranquility and contentment. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history that shaped this vibrant city. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to an era when Cardiff thrived on its maritime trade. Ethel Davies' creation beautifully captures both strength and tenderness within these life-sized figures cast in bronze. Their presence overlooking Mermaid Quay symbolizes resilience and unity, reminding us that it was through collective effort that Tiger Bay flourished. This image not only showcases an exceptional piece of art but also invites us to reflect upon how far Cardiff has come since its days as a bustling port town. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of its people and serves as an inspiration for future generations to honor their heritage while embracing progress.
