EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a Langoustine Fisherman in the Basque Country of Southern France during the 1910s. The fisherman, dressed in traditional attire, stands outside his modest home with a basket of freshly caught langoustines in hand. His wife, wearing a traditional apron and headscarf, looks on from the doorway. The fisherman's clogs and oilskins are scattered around him, while a net and nets roll are stacked nearby. A pair of fishing nets hangs over the door, ready for use. The fisherman's weathered face and the creases in his hands speak of a life spent toiling on the rugged coastline. His beret sits atop his head, a nod to his Basque heritage. The scene exudes a sense of simplicity and hard work, a testament to the resilience of the fishing community in this region. Langoustines, also known as scampi, were a valuable source of income for the fishermen of the Basque Country. The small crustaceans were highly prized for their delicate flavor and texture, and were exported to markets across Europe. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and historical context of a community that has long been shaped by the sea. It is a poignant reminder of the connection between the people of the Basque Country and the sea, and the enduring traditions that have shaped their way of life for generations.
