EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Raddy Collection, we are transported back in time to the bustling East Looe Fish Market. The image captures a moment of frenetic activity as fish merchants go about their daily routine, filling a crate with an abundance of fresh catch. The scene is alive with vibrant colors and textures, showcasing the rich diversity of marine life that graced these shores. From glistening silver mackerels to plump red snappers, each fish seems to tell its own story - a testament to the hard work and dedication of those who made their living from the sea. Amidst the chaos, our attention is drawn towards T. Fletcher, a prominent figure in this thriving marketplace. With sleeves rolled up and hands moving swiftly, he orchestrates his team with precision and expertise. His weathered face bears witness to years spent navigating treacherous waters and building relationships with local fishermen. There is an undeniable sense of camaraderie among all present; laughter echoes through the air as tales are shared between colleagues who have become more like family over time. This photograph encapsulates not just a snapshot in history but also serves as a reminder of how communities were built around industries such as fishing. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from yesteryears' East Looe Fish Market, we cannot help but feel grateful for those who dedicated their lives to providing us with sustenance while preserving traditions that have shaped coastal towns for generations.
