COD FISHING, 1891 - A Glimpse into the Thriving Maritime Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1891 takes us back to a time when cod fishing was at its peak on the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland. The image showcases a group of hardworking fishermen braving the mighty Atlantic Ocean in their rowboat, battling against late waves and harsh weather conditions. Dressed in heavy coats and donning traditional hats, these Canadian men exemplify resilience as they navigate through treacherous waters. Their skillful rowing techniques demonstrate years of experience passed down through generations. With unwavering determination, they cast their nets into the vast ocean, hoping for a bountiful catch that will sustain their livelihoods. The grandeur of this scene is beautifully captured by an American artist's intricate wood engraving technique. Every stroke reveals the power and beauty of both man and nature colliding in perfect harmony. This historic print serves as a testament to the significance of cod fishing during this era. It symbolizes not only an industry but also a way of life for countless communities along Newfoundland's shores. The Granger Collection has preserved this snapshot from history with utmost care, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon our rich maritime heritage.
