EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fisher people, Whitby, c1890" captures a slice of life in 19th century England. Taken by the talented artist Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, this image showcases a family engaged in their daily activities along the coastal town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. In the foreground stands a fisherman with his daughter beside him. The man wears traditional fishing attire and proudly dons a hat that shields him from the elements. His daughter looks up at him with admiration and curiosity, perhaps eager to learn about her father's trade. Behind them, we see two women dressed modestly in long dresses - likely the mother and grandmother - observing their loved ones' work. The scene exudes an air of hard work and resilience as these fisherfolk go about their duties against the backdrop of Whitby's bustling harbor. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this snapshot from history, emphasizing both the simplicity and complexity of life during this era. It is through images like these that we gain insight into British culture and parenting practices of yesteryears. Preserved within Studio Volume 1 published by The Studio in London back in 1893, this print serves as a valuable historical document capturing not only familial relationships but also providing us with glimpses into Britain's rich maritime heritage.
