EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, showcasing the picturesque Victorian fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall, England. The image transports us to an era long past, with its quaint cottages, narrow streets, and bustling quayside. The focus of the photograph is on the village's thriving fishing industry, as fishermen prepare to set out to sea with their traditional boats, while their wives, or 'fishwives,' sell their freshly caught fish on the quay. The lantern-lit scene adds to the vintage and early Edwardian atmosphere, with the warm glow illuminating the cobblestone streets and the wooden boats tied up at the dock. The fishermen, dressed in their heavy coats and boots, huddle around their boats, preparing their nets and gear for the day's catch. Their wives, bundled up against the chill, call out to potential customers, offering a variety of fresh fish caught that very day. The boats, with their colorful sails and intricate designs, add to the charm of the scene, as they sit quietly in the harbor, waiting for the next group of fishermen to set sail. Polperro's quayside, with its cobblestone streets and lantern-lit scene, is a testament to the village's rich history and its deep-rooted connection to the sea. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and hardworking spirit of a bygone era, making it a must-have for any vintage or historical collection.
