EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1888 showcases the bustling halibut industry in all its glory. The image is divided into four sections, each depicting a different aspect of this thriving trade. In the top left corner, we see fishermen diligently preparing for their fishing expedition. Their boats are neatly lined up along the dock, ready to set sail and embark on their adventurous journey. The men wear traditional Victorian attire, donning hats that shield them from the late afternoon sun. Moving clockwise, we witness the exciting moment when a group of skilled fishermen successfully land their prized catch at Gloucester. The sheer size and weight of these magnificent halibuts astound us as they are carefully unloaded onto the dock. The next section transports us to a bustling packinghouse where workers meticulously weigh and pack these freshly caught fish for distribution across America. Barrels filled with halibut line the room as workers ensure that every package meets high standards of quality. Lastly, we observe an intriguing scene where halibuts are being dried out under sunlight before further processing can take place. This step ensures preservation and enhances flavor for consumers to enjoy. These engravings were made after photographs taken by the U. S Fish Commission in 1888, capturing a significant era in American history when fishing industries thrived along coastal towns like Gloucester. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's abundance during this period in time.
