EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1879, we are transported to the coast of Long Island, where a lone fisherman patiently awaits a signal from his companion. The scene is set against the backdrop of the vast Atlantic Ocean, its waves crashing gently onto the sandy beach. The late afternoon light casts long shadows on the horse-drawn cart nearby, hinting at the passing hours. The fisherman's weathered face reflects years of dedication to his craft as he gazes out into the horizon with anticipation. His net lies neatly beside him, ready to be cast into action at any moment. This particular fishing expedition focuses on capturing menhaden fish - a staple in New York State's thriving fishing industry during that era. This evocative image captures not only a snapshot in time but also serves as a window into an important part of American history. It showcases both man's reliance on nature for sustenance and their ability to adapt and harness its resources for economic gain. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this piece by Granger NYC from their extensive collection. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel connected to our past while appreciating how far we have come since those days along Long Island's coastline.
