EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense process of tuna fishing in Tunisia. The image showcases the final net, known as "corpo" where the mighty tunas are caught. With their sharp fangs and immense strength, these magnificent creatures are slammed into the fishing boat, creating a spectacle that both amazes and astonishes. The illustration by Damblans, featured in "Le Pelerin" on August 30,1925, beautifully depicts this ancient practice. It transports us back to a time when traditional methods were used to harvest nature's bounty. The engraving showcases not only the skill of the fishermen but also their deep connection with the sea. Tunisia's rich African heritage is evident in this scene - from the sturdy fishing boat to the determination etched on each fisherman's face. This snapshot encapsulates an important aspect of Tunisian culture and highlights their reliance on these waters for sustenance. Stefano Bianchetti has expertly captured this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and documentary significance. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then while recognizing our shared responsibility to protect our planet's wildlife. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of humanity's intricate relationship with nature - one that continues to evolve as we strive towards sustainable practices in harmony with our environment.
