EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century transports us to the coastal town of Cancale in Brittany, France. The print showcases an unknown artist's depiction of a Cancale Oyster Fisherman, capturing the essence of this traditional occupation. The fisherman is portrayed with great detail and skill, his weathered face reflecting years spent battling the elements on these treacherous shores. Clad in typical Breton attire, he stands proudly against a backdrop of rocky cliffs and crashing waves. His hands are adorned with calluses earned through countless hours spent harvesting oysters from the sea. The lithography technique used to create this artwork adds depth and texture to every stroke, bringing life to each wave and wrinkle on the fisherman's face. It is evident that this piece was created by a talented hand who sought to immortalize not only the beauty of Cancale but also pay homage to those who make their living from its bountiful waters. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost taste the briny goodness of freshly shucked oysters - a delicacy for which Cancale is renowned. This artwork serves as a reminder of both the hard work and culinary delights that define this picturesque fishing village. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly captures every intricate detail of this remarkable lithograph, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even today.
