This is the global mean. Rise measured at any given actual shoreline will be different and sometimes even falling, due to local geology altering elevations of land at not-dissimilar rates in some areas (especially areas where post-glacial rebound is still occurring) as well as thermal expansion being uneven.
Was something weird happening in the 1920s or is it just an optical illusion due to the black lines?
I think you'd see similar anomalies in 1880 and 1985 stand out with similar lines.
