EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century as we explore the charming scene of Crab Fishing in Cornwall, captured in this vintage photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. The Edwardian era, with its elegant fashions and refined manners, is beautifully represented in this image as fishermen, dressed in traditional attire, go about their daily work on the Cornish coastline. The men, with their sturdy boots and weathered faces, are seen wading through the shallow waters, expertly maneuvering their nets and baskets to catch the crabs hiding in the rocky crevices. The tranquil atmosphere is further enhanced by the serene expression on the face of the young boy, who watches the scene unfold from the safety of the shore. In the background, the picturesque Cornish landscape is dotted with quaint cottages and rolling hills, while the clear blue waters sparkle in the sunlight. This photograph, a precious remnant of the past, offers a glimpse into the simple pleasures and hardworking spirit of a bygone era. The use of a lantern slide adds to the nostalgic charm, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the beauty of nature was cherished and celebrated.
