EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fisherboy" takes us back to 19th century England, capturing a glimpse of domestic life by the sea. The image showcases a young boy confidently standing on a boat, surrounded by rocks and water. His vibrant attire adds a splash of color against the serene backdrop. The Fisherboy is depicted in this colour litho after an illustration by John George Sowerby for the book "At Home" beautifully decorated by Thomas Crane. This artistic collaboration was published around 1881 and offers us a window into Victorian family life. The scene exudes tranquility as we witness the middle-class fisherboy engaged in his daily work, casting his net or preparing to set sail. It's evident that fishing has been passed down through generations, as he carries himself with an assured demeanor beyond his years. Although captured in England, there are hints of French influence present throughout the image – perhaps reflecting cultural exchanges between these neighboring countries during that era. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry behind it but also provides insight into historical aspects such as child labor and leisure activities during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how different yet connected our lives are across centuries and continents.
