EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard image captures the breathtaking scene of St. Peter Port harbor in Guernsey, Channel Islands, as it appeared in the early 1900s. The photograph features the iconic Albert Statue, designed by English sculptor Joseph Durham, standing proudly on a granite pedestal overlooking the bustling harbor. Dedicated to Prince Albert, the statue was unveiled in 1863 and has since become a cherished symbol of the town. In the background, the spire of the Town Church can be seen rising above the rooftops, adding to the picturesque tableau. The Victorian era Albion Hotel, with its grand facade, dominates the waterfront, while a horse-drawn tram makes its way along the cobblestone streets. The tranquil harbor, dotted with boats, is a hive of activity, with fishermen unloading their catch and merchants hawking their wares. Joseph Durham, a prolific sculptor of the time, expertly crafted the bronze statue, which has stood the test of time and continues to be a beloved landmark for visitors and locals alike. The Albert Statue's presence adds a sense of history and tradition to the charming harbor scene, making this postcard a captivating snapshot of Guernsey's rich past.
