EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of the River Fowey in Cornwall during the Victorian era. The tranquil scene captures the essence of a bygone era, with its quaint cottages nestled along the riverbank and traditional sailing ships gracefully navigating the waters. Dating back to the early 1900s, this vintage image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The Edwardian period, marked by the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is beautifully represented in this photograph. The elegant boats, adorned with intricate sails and ornate rigging, reflect the nautical traditions deeply rooted in the Cornish community. The river, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the boats and the surrounding foliage, exudes a serene and idyllic atmosphere. The quaint cottages, with their thatched roofs and ivy-covered walls, add to the picturesque charm of the scene. Their warm, inviting exteriors tell tales of cozy firesides and hearty meals shared by families. The lush greenery that surrounds the riverbank further enhances the natural beauty of the area, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. This photograph is an exquisite reminder of the rich history and charm of the River Fowey in Cornwall during the Victorian era. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once called this place home and the memories they created along the river's edge.
