Our Fishing Industries - Pilchard Seining in Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the bustling fishing industry in Cornwall. The print, created by Percy Robert Craft and E. C. Dalton for the Illustrated London News in May 1883, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of fishermen as they engage in pilchard seining. In this scene, we see a group of hardworking men aboard their sturdy boats, skillfully maneuvering nets to capture an abundant catch of pilchards. The sea glistens under the warm sunlight while seagulls hover above, eagerly anticipating any leftovers from the haul. These dedicated fishermen wear traditional sou'westers to protect themselves from unpredictable weather conditions at sea. The image highlights not only the industrious nature of these Cornish fishermen but also their expertise in salting and curing fish for preservation. Baskets filled with freshly caught pilchards are seen on deck, ready to be processed and transported to markets across England and even Europe. This engraving serves as a testament to both the importance of fishing as an industry during Victorian times and its significance for sustaining local communities through food supply. It captures a moment frozen in time when manual labor was essential for providing sustenance and economic growth. Through this historical artwork, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its deep connection with the bountiful seas that have shaped its culture throughout centuries past.
