EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Newfoundland" takes us back to the early spring of April, where the maritime-bound Newfoundland fishing fleet arrives at St. John's Harbour. The engraving, created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News on June 21,1890, offers a glimpse into the bustling activity that surrounded this significant event. In this artwork, we witness ships of various sizes dotting the harbor as they unload their precious cargo of cod fish caught off the coast of Canada. The scene is alive with movement as fishermen and locals work together to navigate through ice-filled waters and prepare for the drying stages of these valuable catches. The presence of Governor Forestier adds an air of importance to this occasion, symbolizing both colonial authority and support for the thriving fishing industry. As he observes from his position on land, one can only imagine his admiration for these hardworking Canadians who contribute greatly to North America's economy. Forestier's sketches beautifully capture not just a moment frozen in time but also a way of life deeply intertwined with nature and tradition. It serves as a visual testament to Newfoundland's rich history as well as its significance within the Western Hemisphere. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images transports us back over a century ago when Newfoundland was at its peak as a prominent hub for fishing expeditions - an image that continues to resonate with viewers today.
