EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Joseph Nash that offers a glimpse into the bustling world of Irish fishermen in the late 19th century. The print showcases various aspects of this vibrant industry, from the rugged cliffs and picturesque coastline to the hardworking men and their fishing boats. In this scene, we see a fleet of boats departing from quays along County Kerry and County Cork, ready to embark on their spring mackerel fishing expedition. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he depicts fishermen boarding their vessels while others are busy dissecting fish or preparing trawls for their next catch. The print also highlights some unique features of Irish fishing practices, such as the Galway hooker boat used for coastal transport and long lines employed for line fishing. A school of fish can be seen swimming nearby, adding an element of liveliness to the composition. Nash's artwork not only captures the physicality of this demanding occupation but also pays homage to Ireland's stunning natural beauty. With its dramatic cliffs and crashing waves, it serves as a reminder that these brave fishermen face both nature's challenges and rewards every day. "The Fishing Industry on the West Coast of Ireland" is an exquisite piece that transports viewers back in time, allowing them to appreciate both the artistry involved in capturing this scene and gain insight into an important aspect of Irish history.
