EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Newhaven Fishwives" captures a slice of life from 19th-century England. Taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, this image showcases the resilience and strength of the fisherwomen in Newhaven. The women featured in the photo are dressed in traditional attire, wearing napkins on their heads and donning folk caps. They carry baskets filled with freshly caught fish as they go about their daily routine. The texture of the linen fabric they wear is beautifully captured, adding depth to the composition. The photographer skillfully portrays the essence of fishing culture through this snapshot. The image evokes a sense of hard work and dedication that these women put into their trade. Their weathered faces tell stories of long days spent at sea, braving harsh conditions to provide for their families. This print is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for Pictorial Scotland and Ireland in 1895. Its inclusion in Look and Learn's archives ensures that this remarkable piece continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era through photography's lens.
