EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the early 1900s, showcasing the traditional Kilmore Lobster Fishing scene in Ireland. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of simple living and hard work. The fishermen, dressed in their heavy coats and hats, are seen huddled around a lantern as they prepare for another night on the water. The glow of the lantern illuminates their faces, casting long shadows on the rough, rocky shore. In their hands, they hold lobster pots, ready to be lowered into the cold, dark waters. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, during which this photograph was taken, were marked by a strong reliance on the sea for food and livelihood. Fishing communities like Kilmore were a vital part of Ireland's coastal landscape, and lobster fishing was a significant industry. The men would spend long hours on the water, braving the elements to bring in their catch. The simple tools and methods used in this photograph reflect the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the fishermen. The lobster pots, made of wooden hoops and covered in netting, were designed to trap lobsters in their natural habitat. The lantern, an essential tool for navigating the dark waters, adds to the atmospheric scene. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of Ireland's rich fishing heritage and the resilient communities that have shaped it. It invites us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
