EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1871 transports us back to a bustling scene along the picturesque shores of Gloucester. The print captures a pivotal moment in shad-fishing history as hardworking American fishermen haul in their nets brimming with this prized catch. In the late fishing season, these dedicated men can be seen laboring together, their weathered faces reflecting years spent under the sun and wind. With focused determination, they work as a team to bring in their bounty from the depths of the Delaware River. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into this wood engraving tells a story. From each ripple on the river's surface to every strand of netting intricately woven, we are transported to that very moment when fisherman and fish unite. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but appreciate both the beauty and significance it holds. This image serves as a testament not only to human resilience but also highlights our deep connection with nature—a reminder that our livelihoods often depend on working harmoniously with our environment. Let this extraordinary piece transport you back over a century ago—to an era where hard work met abundant rewards amidst breathtaking natural landscapes—ushering forth memories of an industry built by brave souls who dared venture out onto those rolling waves for sustenance and survival.
