EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri in the 20th century, we are transported to the Channel Islands where a man is engrossed in his quest for ormers or abalone. The image showcases the timeless tradition of hand-picking shellfish along the seashore. The fisherman stands amidst a picturesque backdrop of rocky terrain and seaweed-covered rocks, with the English Channel stretching out before him. With his trusty net in hand and wearing a hat to shield himself from the elements, he skillfully navigates through low tide to gather these prized delicacies. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the simplicity of life during that era. It reminds us of a time when people relied on nature's bounty for sustenance, connecting them intimately with their surroundings. Alfieri's photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of our natural environment and our ability to sustain ourselves through its resources. This Europeana photography treasure offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with nature while marveling at this lone figure braving the elements in pursuit of his catch.
