EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fishmarket, from a German manuscript, c. 1650" takes us back in time to the bustling quayside of a 17th-century fish market. The hand-coloured woodcut showcases the vibrant scene with exquisite detail and artistry. In this lively depiction, we see fishing boats docked along the riverbank as fishermen unload their bountiful catch into baskets. A diverse array of fish species lies on display, showcasing the rich variety available at this market. Buyers eagerly gather around the vendor's stall, carefully examining each fish before making their purchases. The atmosphere is filled with energy and excitement as buyers negotiate prices and haggle for the freshest catches. Fishmongers skillfully carry heavy baskets brimming with seafood through the crowd, ensuring that every customer is served promptly. The engraving beautifully captures not only human activity but also highlights various animal inhabitants of this aquatic world. Seagulls gracefully soar above, hoping for an opportunity to snatch a tasty morsel while other wildlife curiously observes from afar. This remarkable artwork from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into historical trading practices and reminds us of our enduring connection to nature's bounty. Whether it be for sustenance or pleasure, markets like these have been vital hubs throughout history where people come together to exchange goods and stories alike. Bridgeman Images has preserved this timeless piece so that we may appreciate its beauty today and forevermore.
