EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrill of big game fishing in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, circa 1927. The image showcases a group of men aboard a fishing boat, showcasing their impressive catch. The Duke of York himself, Prince Albert Frederick of Wales (later known as King George VI), can be seen holding onto a rope with determination and excitement. The photograph is taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles and published by the Daily Express in London. It offers a glimpse into an era when outdoor pursuits like fishing were popular among British royalty and aristocracy. The composition beautifully portrays the teamwork involved in this adventurous sport as each man plays his part to secure their prized fish. The scenic backdrop of the Bay of Islands adds to the allure of this moment captured on film. With its monochrome aesthetic and historical significance, this print serves as both art and documentation. It transports viewers back to a time when leisure activities like big game hunting were celebrated forms of entertainment for British elites. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of our fascination with aquatic life but also how images can preserve moments that transcend time itself.
