EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the traditional method of catching tuna fish using the almadraba system, as practiced by French fishermen on the Provence coast in the 19th century. The intricate network of nets and traps used in this ancient fishing technique is a testament to the skill and ingenuity of these fishermen.
The image showcases a group of fishermen working together to haul in their catch, showcasing both teamwork and determination. The sheer size and strength of the tuna fish being caught is evident, highlighting the challenges faced by these brave individuals as they work tirelessly to secure their livelihood.
Although this particular scene dates back over a century ago, it is fascinating to note that the almadraba system is still used in Spain today. This serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy and effectiveness of traditional fishing methods that have stood the test of time.
Published in Paris in 1868 by L'Univers Illustre, this historical photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when fishing was not just a means of sustenance but also an art form passed down through generations. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to nature and our reliance on its resources for survival.
