EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of Hastings, East Sussex in 1829. The artist, Fenner, Sears & Co, beautifully captures the essence of this coastal location during a time when it was transitioning from a bustling commercial port to an important fishing center. In the 19th century, as its significance as a trading hub waned, Hastings found new life as a thriving fishing community. Today, it proudly boasts England's largest beach-launched fishing fleet. This image transports us to that era when fishermen would set sail on their sturdy boats into the vast sea. The monochrome landscape showcases the stunning geographical features of this area - towering chalk cliffs contrasting against the calm waters of the harbor. A group of men can be seen on one boat, epitomizing the hardworking spirit and resilience of these fishermen who relied on their skills and knowledge to make a living. Nathaniel Whittock skillfully engraved this scene with intricate details that bring every element to life. As we gaze upon this historic print by Fenner, Sears & Co. , we are reminded of how much has changed over time while appreciating how certain aspects have remained constant - like Hastings' enduring connection with its maritime heritage.
