EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into the past: Fishermen of Rijeka (Fiume), Croatia, 1906. This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as fishermen prepare their nets and boats along the picturesque coast of Rijeka, then known as Fiume. The image, taken in 1906, showcases the traditional way of life for the local community, who have relied on the bountiful Baltic Sea for their livelihoods for generations. The fishermen are seen huddled together, their faces etched with the lines of hard work and determination. They are dressed in simple, practical clothing, with sturdy boots and caps to protect them from the elements. Their hands are calloused from years of handling ropes and nets, and their eyes are focused on the task at hand. The boats, moored along the shore, are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the fishermen. Their design is simple yet effective, with wooden hulls and sails that have been crafted to withstand the harsh conditions of the Baltic Sea. The ropes and nets, carefully coiled and secured, are ready to be cast out into the water to catch the day's haul. The scene is one of quiet productivity, with the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore providing a soothing backdrop. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the natural beauty of the coastline and the simple pleasures of a life spent at sea. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and culture of Rijeka and its people, and the important role that fishing has played in shaping their identity. It is a precious snapshot of a time long past, and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Croatian fishermen who continue to ply their trade along the coast today.
