EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of Docks Scarborough, as it appeared in 1893. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carts, sailing ships, and bustling activity. The image showcases the picturesque harbor of Scarborough, a popular coastal resort town located in North Yorkshire, England. The docks teem with activity, with men and horses working together to load and unload goods from the ships. Sailing vessels of various sizes can be seen anchored in the harbor, their sails billowing in the wind. In the foreground, a horse-drawn cart waits patiently to be loaded with crates and barrels. The cobblestone streets leading up to the docks are lined with buildings, some of which still stand today, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The photograph was captured using a lantern slide, a popular method of projection in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The intricate details of the scene are beautifully preserved, from the textures of the ropes and sails to the expressions of the workers and the horses. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a thriving port town over a century ago. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Scarborough and its communities today.
