EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the bustling world of The Newfoundland Cod Fishery. The image showcases a scene filled with activity as a fishing fleet sets sail from the banks, ready to embark on their arduous journey. The flat-bottomed boats, known as dorises, are lined up in perfect formation, each one brimming with anticipation for the day's catch. Towering over them is a sturdy tugboat that will guide and transport these brave fishermen through treacherous waters. The engraving captures the essence of this vital industry that sustained generations of Newfoundlanders. It serves as a poignant reminder of the immense significance cod fishing held for both livelihoods and cultural identity during this era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost feel the salty breeze against our faces and hear the rhythmic sound of oars hitting water. It evokes a sense of admiration for those who ventured out into unpredictable seas day after day in search of sustenance. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images not only preserves an important moment in history but also invites us to reflect on how human determination has shaped our relationship with nature throughout time.
