EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the rich history of New England's fishing industry. Taken from a 17th-century woodcut, this colour lithograph showcases fishermen diligently drying cod along the coastal shores of colonial America. The image transports us back in time to an era when these hardworking individuals played a vital role in sustaining their communities. The scene depicts several small boats bobbing gently on the water, as fishermen go about their daily tasks. With each catch carefully laid out on wooden racks, they patiently await the sun and wind to transform their bounty into preserved fish that would sustain them through long winters. The illustration not only highlights the importance of fishing for sustenance but also offers insights into early American maritime practices. It serves as a reminder of how these brave pioneers relied on their ingenuity and resourcefulness to navigate life in this new land. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the resilience and determination exhibited by those who settled North America centuries ago. This snapshot from history is both educational and awe-inspiring, showcasing not only our connection with nature but also our ability to adapt and thrive amidst challenging circumstances. With its vibrant colours and intricate details, this print brings alive an important chapter in American history while celebrating the beauty of coastal landscapes and wildlife that have always been intertwined with human existence.
