EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, titled "Herring Packing," transports us back to the vibrant and industrious 1920s. The image, created circa 1928, showcases a scene of women at work in a bustling herring packing plant. The colorful poster, available through Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited from Mary Evans Prints Online, masterfully captures the essence of this essential food industry during the era. The poster's composition is dominated by a large, central image of women in traditional working attire, expertly maneuvering large barrels filled with herring. Their determined expressions and focused body language convey the physical demands and teamwork required in the herring packing process. The women are surrounded by an array of colorful barrels, each one brimming with the glistening, silver fish. In the background, the scene opens up to reveal the vastness of the ocean, with sailboats and sails dotting the horizon. This visual juxtaposition highlights the interconnectedness between the sea and the land, as well as the importance of the fishing industry in supplying food to communities. The poster's design is both visually striking and historically significant, offering a glimpse into the past and the vital role women played in the herring packing industry during the 1920s. This piece of art is not only a beautiful addition to any decor, but also a testament to the resilience and hard work that defined this era.
