EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "At the Thames Mouth, Shrimping" takes us back to 19th century England. The scene depicts a moonlit night at the mouth of the Thames River, where women are engaged in the age-old practice of shrimping. The print showcases an old-fashioned shrimp shop on board a trawler, with women diligently using hand nets to catch shrimps in the shallow waters. The image beautifully captures their silhouettes against the backdrop of a serene moonlit sky. As they make their way homeward during half tide, we can almost feel the anticipation as these hardworking women bring in their bountiful catch. The shrimp boats dotting the river add to the charm and authenticity of this nostalgic scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element - from capturing each woman's feeding claw technique to showcasing boiling pots on board for cooking fresh shrimps. This engraving not only highlights an important aspect of traditional English culture but also serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities relied on natural resources for sustenance. With its digitally cleaned image, this print allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic beauty simultaneously. It is truly a remarkable piece that transports us back in time while celebrating our rich cultural heritage along one of England's most iconic rivers –the Thames.
