EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from "The International Fisheries Exhibition at Edinburgh" takes us back to the year 1882, immersing us in a world of international fishery and maritime innovation. The image showcases an array of fascinating exhibits that were on display during this grand exhibition. In the foreground, we see a meticulously crafted model of a coble, a traditional fishing boat used in Scotland. Beside it lies a weir shot net, an essential tool employed in the Tweed Salmon Fisheries. These artifacts provide insight into the rich history and techniques employed by fishermen to harvest salmon from these waters. Moving towards the center, our attention is drawn to Henrys Breechloading Harpoon Gun, proudly adorned with a gold medal. This remarkable invention revolutionized whaling practices and earned its rightful place among esteemed exhibits at the exhibition. To add color and vibrancy to this scene, Newhaven Fishwives can be seen enthusiastically selling their catalogues nearby. Their presence adds authenticity and cultural significance to this snapshot of life at the time. Further enhancing safety measures for seafarers are two innovative devices: a life-saving balloon for communication between stranded vessels and shore; as well as a life-line throwing gun which was also awarded with a gold medal for its ingenuity. This engraving not only serves as historical documentation but also showcases Victorian illustrative techniques through its retro-styled engravement. It transports viewers back in time while highlighting significant advancements made within international fisheries during that era.
