EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print taken on 8 October 1920, we are transported back to the Channel Islands where a group of men embark on an adventurous fishing expedition. The focus of their hunt? Ormers, also known as abalone - a prized shellfish that has long been sought after for its exquisite taste and unique texture. The image captures the essence of a bygone era as these skilled hand pickers navigate their boat through the vast expanse of the sea. With nets in hand, they carefully maneuver around rocky outcrops, searching for hidden treasures beneath the waves. Their determination is palpable as they gather together in pursuit of their bounty. Alfieri's masterful monochrome composition adds depth and character to this snapshot from history. The stark contrast between light and shadow accentuates both the ruggedness of the fishermen's surroundings and their unwavering dedication to their craft. This photograph not only showcases a moment frozen in time but also provides us with a glimpse into traditional European fishing practices during the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how communities have relied on its resources for sustenance throughout centuries. As we admire Alfieri's artistry captured within this stunning piece, let us appreciate both the beauty found within our oceans and those who have dedicated themselves to preserving it for generations to come.
