EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Scraping for sand-eels by moonlight" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of tranquility and adventure. The image depicts a group of fishermen engrossed in their nocturnal pursuit, illuminated only by the soft glow of the moon. With fishing implements in hand, they scrape the sandy shores in search of sand-eels, their silhouettes blending seamlessly with the surrounding sea. The artwork was created as an illustration for John Bickerdyke's book "Sea Fishing" published in 1895. It beautifully captures not only the historical significance but also showcases fishing as both a sport and pastime enjoyed by many during that era. In this scene, we witness not just fishermen but also fisherwomen and anglers engaged in their shared passion for reeling in nature's bounty. The artist skillfully portrays various wildlife animals inhabiting this coastal environment, adding depth to the composition. As we gaze upon this lithograph print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported into a world where time seems to stand still – where man and nature coexist harmoniously under the enchanting light of the moon. This piece serves as a reminder of our connection to history and our enduring fascination with exploring both land and sea.
