Cobh Queenstown

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Cobh, or Queenstown as it was once known, East Beach during the early 1900s. This photograph, 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 image showcases the picturesque East Beach, with its soft, golden sands gently lapped by the clear, tranquil waters of the Irish Sea. The shoreline is dotted with colorful beach huts, their vibrant hues adding a charming contrast against the muted tones of the pebbled beach and the sky. In the foreground, a group of children can be seen playing and frolicking in the shallows, their laughter echoing through the air. A young boy, dressed in a sailor suit, wades into the water, while a girl in a pretty, frilly dress watches on, her hands shielding her eyes from the sun. A lone figure, likely a fisherman, can be seen in the distance, casting his net into the sea. The serene scene is further enhanced by the presence of a traditional lantern slide projector, a common tool for home entertainment during the era, which adds an intriguing touch to the photograph. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and natural beauty of a seaside town in Ireland during the early 1900s. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
