EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the art of herring fishing as depicted in "Histoire naturelle de Lacepede" from 1860. The French School of the 19th century beautifully illustrates this scene, which is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to a time when herring fishing was not only an essential livelihood but also an art form. The fishermen skillfully maneuver their nets, casting them into the vast expanse of water before them. Their synchronized movements create a mesmerizing pattern against the backdrop of the sea. The composition draws our attention to the unity between man and nature. We witness their harmonious dance with the elements as they work together to secure their catch. The artist's intricate detailing brings out every line and curve, allowing us to appreciate both the physicality and grace involved in this ancient practice. Leonard de Selva's photography perfectly captures this historical drawing, preserving it for generations to come. Through his lens, we are able to admire not only the technical mastery displayed by these fishermen but also gain insight into a way of life that has long since passed. This photograph serves as a reminder that even within works of art lies untold stories waiting for curious minds like ours to unravel them.
