EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1882 offers a fascinating snapshot of the oyster season in New York City. As September arrives, marking the opening of this highly anticipated season, the marine and fishing communities come alive with activity. In this bustling scene, we witness hardworking men engaged in various tasks related to harvesting and processing these prized mollusks. Clad in their sailor attire, fishermen can be seen aboard a sloop as they navigate the waters of North America's largest metropolis. With rakes and nets in hand, they skillfully gather oysters from their natural habitat. The industrious workers on land play an equally vital role. One man diligently husks the harvested oysters while others engage in meticulous sorting and cleaning processes. The air is filled with anticipation as each worker contributes to ensuring that only the finest specimens make it to market. This wood engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to New York City's thriving oyster industry during this era. It highlights both the labor-intensive nature of oyster harvesting and processing and its significance within American maritime culture. As we gaze upon this historical print by The Granger Collection, we are transported back to an era when oysters were treasured delicacies enjoyed by many across New York City—a reminder of how industries evolve over time yet leave behind lasting imprints on
