EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fisher-Folks, 1902" offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the back streets of Aberdeen, Scotland during the late 19th century. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures an important aspect of British history. In this photograph, we see a group of strong and resilient women who played a vital role in the fishing industry at that time. They worked as fish-gutters and salters, contributing significantly to their country's economy. Despite facing poverty and challenging living conditions in these backstreets, these women displayed determination and perseverance. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image by emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow. It transports us back to an era when photography was still evolving as an art form. "Fisher-Folks" was originally featured in "The English Illustrated Magazine" published by T. Fisher Unwin in London during April to September 1902. This publication aimed to showcase various aspects of British life through stunning visuals like this one. As we admire this historical snapshot today, let us remember these hardworking individuals who shaped our past with their dedication and resilience. Their stories deserve recognition for their contribution to not only the fishing industry but also society as a whole.
