EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sea fishing, herring and sardines, 1751-1777" captures the essence of the fishing industry in 18th century France. Taken from the renowned Encyclopedie by Diderot & d'Alembert, this piece offers a glimpse into the coastal life of fishermen during that era. The image showcases a group of hardworking men engaged in their daily tasks. They are seen on a picturesque seashore with a shed and smokery in the background. The fishermen skillfully handle their nets while others tend to freshly caught fish. The scene is filled with activity as boats transport goods across the water. The print not only highlights the importance of fishing as an industry but also emphasizes its significance as a source of food for communities along the coast. Herring and sardines were particularly popular catches during this time period. With its monochrome aesthetic, this engraving evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when people relied heavily on natural resources for sustenance and livelihoods. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of aquatic life and maritime activities in 18th century France. As part of a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate how our ancestors worked tirelessly to provide for their families while contributing to their country's economy through traditional industries like fishing.
