EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless scene of fishermen at Sundalsoren, Norway, in the year 1905. The peaceful harbor is dotted with wooden fishing boats, their masts standing tall against the backdrop of the tranquil water. The focus of the image, however, is on the intricately woven fishing nets, meticulously laid out to dry on the wooden frames. The fishermen of Sundalsoren were known for their skill and dedication to their craft, spending long hours at sea to provide for their families and communities. The nets, made of natural fibers like hemp or flax, were an essential part of their livelihood. The process of creating these nets was a labor-intensive one, requiring great patience and precision. The wooden frames, or "net looms," seen in the photograph were used to stretch and dry the nets. The frames were often made from local timber, a testament to the resourcefulness and self-sufficiency of the community. The wooden frames were also used to store the nets when they were not in use. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the tides, and the simple pleasures of community and tradition were cherished. The fishing nets, with their intricate patterns and textures, serve as a reminder of the rich maritime history of Norway and the resilience of its people.
