EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque coastal village of Cadgwith in Cornwall, England, during the summer of 1939. The scene captures a moment in time when hardworking fishermen were loading lobster pots onto a small boat, preparing for their day's work at sea. A small group of men, clad in waders and weathered clothing, can be seen meticulously arranging the heavy pots on board while balancing themselves on the rocky shoreline. Their faces tell stories of resilience and determination as they go about their daily routine in the fishing industry. Amidst this laborious task, one fisherman stands out with his pipe firmly clenched between his teeth. The smoke from his pipe mingles with the salty air, adding an element of nostalgia to this timeless image. The photograph beautifully showcases both the camaraderie among these men and their reliance on traditional methods of transport and equipment. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much has changed since those days - not only in terms of technology but also societal norms. Bernard Alfieri's masterful capture transports us back to an era where hard work was synonymous with survival along these rugged coastlines. This stunning piece evokes a sense of admiration for those who dedicated their lives to such demanding yet rewarding work.
