EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Eel Bucks on the Thames, 19th century" takes us back in time to a serene countryside location along the famous River Thames. The image showcases an intriguing scene of eel fishing during the 19th century in England. Hanging baskets are suspended from wooden structures known as eel bucks, which were used to trap these slippery aquatic creatures. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures the essence of this traditional British fishing practice. The intricate details highlight not only the skill and craftsmanship involved but also provide a glimpse into life by the river during that era. The print transports us to a bygone age when nature and human activity coexisted harmoniously. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors relied on rivers like the Thames for sustenance and livelihoods. This historical snapshot offers valuable insights into both British geography and cultural heritage. Although we do not know the identity of its creator, this print is undoubtedly a testament to their talent in capturing such an evocative moment in time. As we admire this remarkable piece, let it inspire appreciation for our natural surroundings and ignite curiosity about our shared history with rivers like the Thames.
