EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to witness the ancient art of salting, drying, and smoking fish. The illustration is derived from the renowned work "Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus" by Olaus Magnus, a prominent 16th-century scholar. Published in Rome in 1555, this woodcut engraving captures the essence of Nordic fishing industry practices. Intriguingly detailed, the image showcases a bustling scene of laborers engaged in various tasks. A female worker can be seen skillfully handling barrels filled with freshly caught fish while her male counterparts diligently spear herrings for processing. The air is thick with smoke as workers hang these speared fish inside a traditional smokehouse. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of human ingenuity and hard work. It offers a glimpse into an era when communities relied on their expertise to preserve food resources for sustenance during harsh winters. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense effort required to sustain livelihoods through manual labor and resourcefulness. This print serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication displayed by those involved in the fishing industry centuries ago. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of an age-old tradition that has shaped Scandinavian culture for generations.
