EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Newfoundland Fisheries Question, the French Shore" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a significant maritime dispute. The engraving showcases an array of elements that tell a compelling story about Canada's fishing industry and its relationship with France. In this intricate artwork, we witness an assortment of Newfoundland fishing smacks and ships navigating through icy waters. A French banker vessel can be seen in close proximity to English men-of-war ships, symbolizing the ongoing tensions surrounding the fisheries question. Amidst this backdrop, French fishermen diligently bait their lines while Canadian counterparts preserve their catch. The image beautifully captures St John's Harbour bustling with activity as both nations assert their rights over these rich fishing grounds. A towering iceberg looms in the distance, reminding us of the harsh conditions faced by those who venture into these treacherous waters. This historical engraving not only highlights the complexities of international relations but also sheds light on the importance of fishing for both countries involved. It serves as a visual testament to how vital this industry was for livelihoods and economies on both sides of the Atlantic. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one chapter in Canada's fascinating maritime history - where diplomacy met competition amidst vast oceans teeming with life.
