EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Herring Fishery" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling fishing industry of that era. The engraving showcases an English School's intricate attention to detail, capturing the essence of this vital trade. In this scene, we find ourselves in various harbours along the Scottish coast - Wick Harbour, Dunbar, Fife, and St Monance. The image is filled with herring boats gracefully gliding through the water as they embark on their fishing expeditions. A tugboat stands tall amidst these vessels, ready to assist in transportation or any other necessary tasks. The curing yard becomes a focal point within this lively composition. Here we witness fishermen diligently working on their catch; preparing and preserving these precious herring fish for consumption or exportation. Curing stances are scattered across the yard as workers meticulously carry out their duties. Through this artwork's historical lens, it becomes evident how integral fishing was to coastal communities during that time period. It serves as a testament to both the hard work and reliance placed upon these seafaring individuals who depended on successful hauls for their livelihoods. "The Herring Fishery" print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into an important chapter of maritime history.
