EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a momentous event in history - The International Fisheries Exhibition at Edinburgh. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with various elements that highlight the importance of fishing and maritime activities during that era. In the foreground, we see a model coble, symbolizing traditional fishing methods, while stranded vessels serve as a reminder of the risks faced by fishermen. A life-saving balloon hovers above, emphasizing the significance of safety measures in this perilous profession. The exhibition itself is depicted through catalogues being exchanged between individuals. This represents how knowledge and ideas were shared among participants from different regions. Tweed salmon fisheries and Newhaven fishwives are also featured, showcasing Scotland's rich fishing heritage. A peculiar sight catches our attention as well - a weir shot net being thrown from shore to catch fish in an innovative manner. This technique likely earned recognition as it won a gold medal at the exhibition. Amongst all these fascinating displays stands out Henry's Breedchloading Harpoon Gun for selling purposes. Its presence highlights technological advancements that revolutionized fishing practices during this period. Overall, this engraving not only captures an important historical event but also provides valuable insights into the world of fisheries in 19th-century Scotland. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in harnessing nature's bounties while striving for progress and innovation within this vital industry.
