EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in the world of cod fishing. The image is sourced from "Traite general des peches" by Duhamel du Monceau, a renowned French author and scientist of that era. In this scene, we witness the bustling activity of cod fishing as boats sail through choppy waters. The lines are cast out into the sea, creating a mesmerizing pattern against the vast expanse of water. This engraving beautifully captures both the artistry and practicality involved in this age-old practice. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke reveals not only the skill of the engraver but also showcases various elements essential to successful cod fishing. From sturdy boats designed for these treacherous waters to meticulously crafted lines that ensure a bountiful catch, each component plays its part. Cod fish themselves are depicted with precision, their sleek bodies gliding effortlessly beneath the surface. These creatures have long been sought after for their succulent flesh and abundant supply. Leonard de Selva's photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both nature's beauty and humanity's ingenuity when it comes to harnessing its resources sustainably. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, our ancestors were deeply connected with wildlife and relied on it for survival. This stunning artwork is now preserved within a private collection but continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who encounter it today.
