EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Victorian/Edwardian era, specifically to North Shields Fish Quay in Tyne and Wear, England. The image showcases a bustling scene of fishing boats and buildings along the riverfront. Despite the low light conditions, a lighthouse stands tall, guiding ships through foggy waters. The historic significance of this postcard circa 1900 lies not only in its portrayal of the fishing industry but also in capturing the social fabric of that period. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives of fishermen and their connection with this vibrant harbor town. The composition is strikingly horizontal, emphasizing both the vastness of the river Tyne and the urban landscape that surrounds it. The cloudy sky adds an atmospheric touch to this snapshot from another time. Moored nautical vessels line up along the quay while busy workers go about their tasks on land. This image transports us to an era when rivers were lifelines for transportation and trade. John Short's masterful capture allows us to appreciate not just the physical structures but also feel immersed in history itself. With no people present, we are left with our own imagination as we contemplate life at North Shields Fish Quay over a century ago.
