EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a fishwife selling her fresh catch on the quayside during the Victorian period. Dressed in traditional attire, the fishwife proudly displays an array of fish on a table, their scales glistening in the soft lantern light. The cobblestone quayside, lined with old, weathered buildings and the reflection of the lantern light on the water, adds to the early 20th century ambiance. The fishwife's determined expression and the hustle and bustle of activity in the background suggest the lively and bustling atmosphere of the street market. This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the quayside was a hub of activity and the daily catch was sold fresh from the boats. The fishwife's traditional costume, complete with apron and bonnet, and the use of lantern light to illuminate the scene, add to the authenticity of this early, old photograph. This image is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions of the past and the importance of the fishing industry during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
