EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Marske-by-the-Sea, a charming coastal town located in the North East of Yorkshire, England, during the early 1900s. The image, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of Victorian and Edwardian elegance. The photograph showcases a quaint butcher's shop on the high street, its red-painted facade adorned with intricate woodwork and a large, ornate sign bearing the name of the business. The butcher, dressed in a crisp white apron and tall hat, stands at the counter, ready to serve his customers with a friendly smile. A young boy, perhaps an apprentice, assists him, while a few shoppers linger outside, engaged in conversation. The cobblestone street is lined with other shops, their windows displaying various wares, from baked goods to textiles. The scene is set against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, with the sun casting dappled light onto the street. The tranquil atmosphere is further enhanced by the absence of modern vehicles, allowing us to imagine the gentle clatter of horse hooves and the soft chatter of the townsfolk. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Marske-by-the-Sea during a time of great change, as the Victorian and Edwardian eras gave way to the modern world. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and character that continues to define this beautiful coastal town.
