EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, capturing a group of fishermen aboard an early fishing boat known as a coble at Whitby in Yorkshire. The image beautifully depicts the essence of their trade - "Fish where the fish are!" seems to be their motto. The scene unfolds on a picturesque beach, with towering cliffs forming a dramatic backdrop against the vast expanse of the sea. A fleet of cobles can be seen dotting the bay, each manned by determined fishermen ready to cast their nets and embark on their herring-catching adventure. Amongst this group of hardworking individuals, we spot some young faces brimming with enthusiasm and energy. Their presence serves as a reminder that fishing was not only an industry but also a way of life passed down through generations. As we delve into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn towards the oars rhythmically slicing through the water's surface, propelling these sturdy boats forward. The sails billow gracefully in response to gentle ocean breezes, guiding them towards bountiful fishing grounds. This print from Archive transports us back in time, offering glimpses into an era when man battled nature's elements for sustenance and livelihood. It serves as both a tribute to those who dedicated themselves to this perilous profession and an invitation for us to appreciate how far our modern fishing industry has come since then.
