EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of fisher women who worked for the herring fleet on the East coast of Britain in 1913. The top view shows three women standing at a pickling trough, diligently gutting and pickling herring - a task that required skill and precision. In the centre view, a group of women are seen taking a well-deserved break from their labours, perhaps sharing stories and laughter amidst their hard work. At the bottom, four women are captured knitting as they walk, showcasing their multitasking abilities while possibly dressed in their best clothes for a Sunday outing.
These historical photographs provide valuable insight into the daily lives and struggles of working-class women during this time period. The images convey both resilience and camaraderie among these fisher women as they carried out demanding tasks to support themselves and their families.
Through this Rights Managed photo print, we are reminded of the important role that these unsung heroes played in sustaining the herring industry along the British coast over a century ago. Their dedication and hard work deserve to be remembered and celebrated for generations to come.
