EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of Fisher girls in Scarborough during the Victorian period. The image transports us back in time to an era where hardworking young women could be seen on the shores, diligently gutting herring and preparing fish for sale. The vintage quality of the photograph adds to its charm, with details such as old lanterns and wooden barrels creating a sense of nostalgia.
The Fisher girls themselves are dressed in traditional attire, their faces focused on their task at hand. Their determination and skill are evident as they go about their work with precision and efficiency. It is a reminder of the important role that women played in industries such as fishing during this time period.
The scene is bustling yet serene, with seagulls circling overhead and waves crashing against the shore in the background. The early Edwardian architecture of Scarborough provides a picturesque backdrop to this slice of everyday life from long ago.
Overall, this print by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is not just a visual treat for history enthusiasts but also serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and hard work exhibited by these Fisher girls during the Victorian era.
