1888 Fisherman Listening Parasol Sea Side Telling
EDITORS COMMENTS
Seaside Story - A Timeless Tradition This evocative image captures a moment of wonder and enchantment as children gather around an old fisherman on the sandy shores of a quiet beach. The year is 1888, and the scene is reminiscent of simpler times, where the tales of the past were passed down through generations. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, sit attentively under the shade of a parasol, their eyes fixed on the old fisherman as he weaves a story of the sea and its mysteries. The parasol, a common accessory for families at the beach during this era, not only provides protection from the sun but also serves as a symbol of elegance and refinement. The old fisherman, with his weathered face and creased hands, embodies the rich history and knowledge of the sea. His stories, born from a lifetime of experience, are a testament to the enduring connection between the sea and those who make their living from it. As the sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the scene, the children listen intently, their imaginations transported to far-off lands and underwater kingdoms. The sea, once a source of livelihood for the fisherman, becomes a gateway to adventure and excitement for the children. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a poignant reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring bond between the sea, the fisherman, and the children. It invites us to pause and reflect on the importance of preserving the stories of our past and passing them down to future generations.
