EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Saurissage des harengs a Fecamp" takes us back to the 19th century in France. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases the traditional method of smoking herrings in Fecamp. The scene depicts a bustling workshop where skilled workers are meticulously preparing and smoking kippers. Thick plumes of smoke rise from the chimneys, engulfing the air with an intoxicating aroma that lingers throughout the town. The herring fish, known for their abundance in this region, are being transformed into delectable smoked delicacies. Le Magasin Pittoresque magazine featured this illustration in 1879, capturing a snapshot of life during that time period. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical process. As we observe this artwork closely, we can't help but be drawn to the dedication and craftsmanship displayed by these artisans. Their expertise is evident as they skillfully handle each herring with precision and care. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's bountiful offerings. It celebrates both human ingenuity and our reliance on animal resources for sustenance. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that we may continue to admire and reflect upon it today.
