EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting Breton sailors leaving the port of Paimpol in the spring. The image, taken by Leonard de Selva in the 19th century, showcases a scene filled with anticipation and determination. As these brave sailors bid farewell to their loved ones, they embark on an arduous journey across treacherous waters to search for cod on the coast of either Iceland or Newfoundland. Their small boats are packed with supplies and hope as they set sail into the vast unknown. The engraving was featured in "Le petit journal" on March 19th, 1894, adding to its historical significance. It is now part of the Selvas collection and serves as a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Brittany. In this image, we witness not only fishermen but also families bidding tearful farewells at the harbor's edge. Children clutch onto their fathers' legs while mothers wave goodbye with heavy hearts. The emotions captured here are universal - love mixed with worry and pride mingled with fear. This evocative print transports us back in time, allowing us to glimpse into an era when fishing was not just a livelihood but also an adventure fraught with danger and uncertainty. It reminds us of our connection to nature and how communities relied on it for sustenance. Leonard de Selva's photograph immortalizes this significant moment in Breton history - one that celebrates bravery, resilience, and unity within a tight-knit community
