EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cornish Fisherman" captures the essence of everyday life in 19th century Cornwall. Created by Charles Napier Hemy, a renowned artist of the time, this artwork is part of a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in the book "An Unsentimental Journey through Cornwall" by an anonymous author known for their work "John Halifax, Gentleman". Published in 1884 with illustrations by C. Napier Hemy, this piece offers a realistic portrayal of Cornish fishermen and their daily routine. Hemy's attention to detail and mastery of realism shine through in this print. The fisherman depicted exudes strength and resilience as he navigates his way through the challenges of his trade. The use of black and white adds depth to the image, emphasizing both the harshness and beauty found within Cornwall's fishing industry. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to a time when fishing was not just a means for survival but also an integral part of Cornish culture. It serves as a reminder that even mundane aspects of life can hold great significance. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value today. Through their dedication to fine art preservation, they ensure that these glimpses into our past continue to inspire future generations.
