EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Norfolk Broads: Eel-Picking" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of daily life in the marshlands of Norfolk, England. The artist behind this beautiful colour lithograph is Frank Southgate (1872-1916), and it is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a group of individuals engaged in the traditional practice of eel-picking. With their nets and baskets at hand, they navigate through the serene waters of the Norfolk Broads, carefully selecting and collecting these slippery creatures from their natural habitat. The scene exudes tranquility as we witness this age-old activity taking place amidst the wetlands. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for William A Dutt's book "The Norfolk Broads" published around 1906. It serves as both a visual representation and historical documentation of an important aspect of local culture during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when humans lived harmoniously with nature, relying on its resources for sustenance and livelihoods. It reminds us not only of our connection to the land but also highlights how traditions evolve over time. With its vibrant colours and attention to detail, this photograph invites us to appreciate both the beauty found within nature's bounty and our shared history with these enchanting wetlands known as the Norfolk Broads.
