EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the bustling crabbing stations in the West of England. The image, part of a private collection, takes us back to a time when these stations were at their prime. In this historic snapshot, we witness fishermen going about their daily routines on longships light and traditional fishing boats. Pots filled with crabs are scattered across the scene as fishermen diligently work to secure their catch. The picturesque coastal towns of Polperro and Porthwarra provide a stunning backdrop for this thriving industry. The significance of this print is further emphasized by its association with "The Boys Own Annual" publication from 1893. It served as an illustration for an article dedicated to these very crabbing stations, highlighting their importance in local history. As we delve into the details, one cannot help but admire the intricate engravings that bring this scene to life. From the texture of sea waves crashing against rocky shores to every minute detail on each boat, it is evident that great skill was employed in creating this artwork. This piece not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's bounties and our relentless pursuit of sustenance from the sea.
