EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Iceland's fishing industry in the 19th century. The engraving, titled "Sketches in Iceland, landing Dried Cod at Reykjavik" takes us back to a time when harbors were bustling with activity and boats played a vital role in transporting goods. In this scene, we see a busy harbor filled with various types of vessels. A large boat is being towed by a tugboat towards the dock, where workers eagerly await its arrival. The main focus of their attention is the dried cod that is being unloaded from the boat - an essential commodity for both local consumption and international trade. The artist, Louis Huard, skillfully depicts the intricacies of this industry through his detailed illustrations. From fishing implements such as lines and nets to hardworking fishermen going about their tasks, every element showcases the importance of this trade to Icelandic society. Reykjavik's picturesque landscape serves as a stunning backdrop to this lively scene. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time and can almost feel the energy emanating from these industrious individuals. This artwork not only offers us a glimpse into Iceland's rich history but also reminds us of how transportation and means of transport have evolved over time. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness while highlighting one country's unique connection with its natural resources.
