EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Packing Lobsters, 1868" takes us back to a bygone era in American history. The wood engraving, created in the same year it depicts, showcases the hard work and dedication of fishermen during this time period. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling fishing dock somewhere along the coast of mid-19th century America. A group of skilled workers can be seen meticulously packing freshly caught lobsters into crates for transport. The image captures the essence of their laborious task as they handle each crustacean with care and expertise. Amongst these dedicated workers are women who play an integral role in this industry. Breaking gender norms for their time, these women showcase their strength and resilience as they contribute alongside their male counterparts. The attention to detail in this wood engraving is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to each individual depicted. It serves as a testament not only to the craftsmanship of the artist but also to the significance of fishing as an essential part of American livelihood during that era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we gain a deeper appreciation for those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to provide sustenance for communities across America. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to reflect on our nation's rich heritage while honoring those whose efforts shaped our past.
