EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing the intricate process of cod fishing. Titled "Cod fishing: loading, slicing and salting fish" this image is a part of the renowned book "Traite general des peches" by Duhamel du Monceau, published in 1772. The engraving depicts a scene filled with activity as fishermen load their boats with freshly caught cod. The men skillfully slice and salt the fish before storing them away for preservation. Their expertise is evident in their precise movements, highlighting the importance of this trade during that time. The French School artist behind this masterpiece captures not only the practical aspects but also conveys a sense of admiration for these hardworking individuals who relied on cod fishing for their livelihoods. The attention to detail brings each figure to life, emphasizing their dedication and connection to nature's bounty. Leonard de Selva beautifully preserves this historical moment through his photography, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and significance in documenting an essential aspect of maritime culture. This print serves as a reminder of our rich history intertwined with nature's resources and reminds us how far we have come since then. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand the laborious yet rewarding process that sustained communities centuries ago.
