Mevagissey Harbour: A Vintage Snapshot of Cornish Fishing Traditions from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Step back in time with this evocative image of Mevagissey Harbour, captured in the early 20th century. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection available at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, revealing the enduring charm of Cornwall's picturesque fishing village. The harbour, nestled between rugged cliffs, is bustling with activity. Fishing boats, their sails furled and nets stowed, crowd the shoreline. Seagulls circle overhead, their cries mingling with the sounds of the sea. In the foreground, a fisherman, dressed in the traditional gear of the era, tends to a lantern, perhaps preparing for an evening at sea. The atmosphere is quintessentially Victorian and Edwardian, with the simple, functional buildings and the timeless beauty of the natural surroundings. The lantern, a symbol of hope and guidance for fishermen, adds a touch of mystery and romance to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Mevagissey Harbour and the resilient community that has thrived there for centuries. It invites us to reflect on the past, to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, and to cherish the enduring allure of the Cornish coast.
