EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in Braemar, Salmon-Spearing on the Dee" takes us back to 19th century Scotland. The artist, J. M. L. Ralston, skillfully captures a scene of traditional salmon spearing on the River Dee in Braemar. The print showcases a group of fishermen diligently engaged in their ancient practice along the riverbank. With their long spears poised and ready, they patiently await the perfect moment to strike at passing salmon. Their focused expressions reveal years of expertise honed by generations before them. The surrounding landscape adds to the allure of this picturesque setting. Towering mountains provide a majestic backdrop while lush greenery frames the tranquil waters of the Dee. It is as if time stands still in this idyllic corner of Scotland. Originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in November 1880, this artwork offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when fishing was not just a livelihood but also an art form passed down through generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from its private collection for all to appreciate and admire today. This print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring connection with nature's bounties - reminding us that some traditions are worth cherishing forever.
