EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LONDON: FISHERMEN, c1796" takes us back to the late 18th century in London. The scene captures a unique form of leisure and entertainment as anglers gather at Sadlers Wells, engrossed in their favorite pastime - fishing. Hand colored etching by Isaac Cruikshank after a drawing by George Woodward, this artwork beautifully depicts the daily life of English fishermen during that era. The image showcases men dressed in traditional clothing, sporting hats and holding fishing rods with great enthusiasm. As they engage in angling outside the theater, it becomes evident that fishing was not only a sport but also an opportunity for socializing and relaxation. With its clever parody elements, this cartoon-like composition adds an element of humor to the scene. The exaggerated features and expressions on the faces of these fishermen bring a lighthearted touch to their pursuit. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke seems purposeful and intentional. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of London's history where men found solace amidst bustling city life through their love for angling.
