EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite hand-colored woodcut of an Atlantic codfish specimen collected at Eastport, Maine, back in 1872 by the US Fish Commission. The intricate illustration takes us on a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the rich natural history and commercial fishing practices of the American Northeast. The Atlantic codfish, once abundant in the waters of Massachusetts and Maine along the Atlantic Ocean, played a significant role in both local economies and food traditions. This scientific drawing serves as a testament to its importance as a commercial species during that era. As we admire this vintage artwork, we are reminded of how crucial it is to preserve our oceans' delicate ecosystems. Sadly, due to overfishing and habitat destruction, Atlantic cod populations have significantly declined over the years. Today they are considered an endangered species. North Wind Picture Archives has masterfully captured not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this illustration. Through their lens, we can appreciate not just artistry but also gain insight into our past relationship with nature. Let this image serve as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and conserve these magnificent creatures for future generations to come.
