EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Catching, dressing and drying the cod" takes us back to colonial America in 1738. The image showcases a crucial aspect of early industry and livelihood in Keiths Virginia - the process of preparing cod for consumption. In this vibrant lithograph, we are transported to the outdoors where workers diligently engage in their tasks. A boat filled with freshly caught cod serves as the focal point, highlighting the importance of fishing in North America during that time. The illustration not only captures a moment but also provides a detailed diagram depicting each step involved in catching, dressing, and drying these prized fish. The scene exudes an aura of hard work and dedication as male workers meticulously dress and prepare the cod for further processing. Their expertise is evident as they skillfully handle each fish with precision. This snapshot into American history reminds us of the significance of manual labor and its role in shaping early industries. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how essential fishing was for sustenance and trade during those times. It offers us a glimpse into colonial America's rich heritage while showcasing the tireless efforts undertaken by these workers who played a vital role in providing food for their communities.
