EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by George Braun, titled "Fishing in an Almadraba Tuna," is a stunning representation of the traditional tuna fishing industry in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically in the region of Catalonia, Spain. The image, taken from Braun's seminal work "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum" (Theatrum orbis terrarum), published between 1572 and 1617, offers a glimpse into the economic and culinary significance of tuna fishing during the late 16th century. The scene depicts a bustling almadraba, a type of tuna fishery, where fishermen work in unison to herd tuna into a narrow channel, using large nets to trap them. The intricate details of the etching reveal the precision and teamwork required for this ancient fishing technique. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the rich history and culture of this region. It is important to note that this etching is not to be confused with the modern Braun & Schneider company, but rather the work of George Braun, a prominent cartographer and publisher of the time. Other notable figures of the era, such as Abraham Ortelius and Franz Hogenberg, also contributed to the production of "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum." The economic importance of the tuna fishing industry during this period is evident in the intricate details of the etching. However, it also highlights the culinary significance of tuna, which was a prized ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. The image of a cook preparing a tuna dish in the foreground underscores the connection between the economic and gastronomic aspects of this industry. Music also plays a role in the scene, as musicians are depicted in the background, adding to the lively atmosphere of the almadraba. This etching is a testament to the interconnectedness of various aspects of life during the late 16th century, from the economy and gastronomy to music and culture.
