From handcoloured copperplate engravings to oil paintings, these pieces offer a glimpse into various aspects of the age-old practice. One artwork transports us to 1802-1808 with Edward Donovan's "Natural History of British Fishes, " showcasing intricate illustrations of marine creatures like the Greater weever or sting-bull. The delicate details bring these fish to life, highlighting their unique features. Moving forward in time, an advertisement for the Seasalter & Ham Oyster Fishery Company takes center stage. This lithograph promotes Whitstable Native Oysters from Kent, reminding us that fishing extends beyond just catching fish but also encompasses other aquatic delicacies. A picturesque scene titled "Towing in the boat" captures Valencia Beach in 1916. Painted with oils on canvas, it depicts fishermen working together as they navigate their vessel through calm waters—a testament to both teamwork and dedication within this profession. Traveling further north brings us to Yorkshire's River Tees at Rokeby around 1860. Through skillful brushstrokes on canvas, this painting showcases serene surroundings where fishermen find solace amidst nature's beauty while casting their lines into tranquil waters. In contrast, "Fisherman's Paradise" immerses us in a vibrant depiction from 1941. With bold colors and expressive strokes on canvas, it portrays an idyllic setting where anglers revel in their passion against a backdrop bursting with life—an ode to the joy found within fishing havens. The artistry continues with Charles Malfroy's view of Martigues—a charming town captured through oil on wood—inviting viewers to experience its coastal allure firsthand. Meanwhile, Louis Nattero's painting reveals pecheurs ravauding nets—an essential task for fishermen, showcasing their dedication to maintaining their equipment.
