EDITORS COMMENTS
Boulogne-sur-Mer: The Washing of the Day's Catch of Fish (Boulogne-sur-Mer: Le Lavage du Prise du Jour des Pêcheurs, 1913)" is a captivating photograph that showcases the daily routine of the fishermen in the historic port of Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. Taken in 1913, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the quayside was bustling with activity. The photograph captures the moment when the fishermen return from a long day at sea, bringing in their catch to be sorted, weighed, and prepared for market. The scene is one of industry and cooperation, as men work together to empty their nets, sorting the fish by size and species. In the foreground, a fisherman meticulously washes a bucket of cod, ensuring each fish is clean and ready for sale. The waterfront, with its cobblestone quay and colorful buildings, serves as the backdrop to this scene. The harbor, a vital source of livelihood for the community, is a hive of activity, with boats of all shapes and sizes coming and going. The water, calm and clear, reflects the vibrant colors of the boats and the activity on the quayside. This photograph is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the fishermen of Boulogne-sur-Mer, who braved the North Sea to provide for their families and their community. The image is a reminder of the importance of the fishing industry in the region and the rich maritime heritage that continues to thrive in Boulogne-sur-Mer today. This photograph, with its timeless quality and evocative subject matter, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in French history, maritime culture, or the daily life of a coastal community in the early 20th century.
