EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian engraving showcases an old map of the Cinque Ports, a group of five historic ports nestled in the southeastern corner of Kent, England. Originally established for trade and military purposes, the Confederation of Cinque Ports has evolved into a primarily ceremonial organization. The original ports included Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover, and Sandwich; however, when Romney silted up over time, Rye took its place among these renowned harbors. Published in 1885 by Cassell & Co Ltd as part of "Our Own Country: Descriptive Historical Pictorial" this vertical panoramic print offers a glimpse into the past with its black and white depiction. From Dungeness to Winchelsea and Pevensey Bay to Folkestone—each location is meticulously illustrated on this enchanting map. Transporting us back through time with its monochrome charm and intricate details, this engraved image invites us to explore British culture and social history from the 19th century. It captures not only the geographical features but also evokes nostalgia for a bygone era filled with battles fought along these shores. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of cartography depicting ancient coastlines along the English Channel's edge, it serves as a reminder that history is etched within every line. A testament to England's rich maritime heritage and cultural significance, this print preserves our connection to centuries past while igniting our curiosity about these famous destinations within East Sussex.
