EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1738 color English engraving titled "Newfoundland Fishery" takes us back in time to witness the bustling fishing industry in Newfoundland. The image showcases a vibrant scene of fishermen hard at work, capturing, curing, and drying codfish. The exterior view reveals a majestic ship anchored near the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizing the maritime essence of this trade. Men can be seen diligently engaged in their tasks, highlighting the dedication and skill required for successful fishing endeavors during that era. The print offers a glimpse into an early form of commerce that sustained communities and drove economic growth. It serves as a testament to the significance of this Canadian industry and its contribution to global food supply chains. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; it beautifully captures both the physical labor involved and the natural beauty surrounding these workers. The artist's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to each element depicted - from the fisherman's attire to the stock fish being dried on racks. Displayed proudly by Granger Art on Demand, this historical print transports viewers back centuries ago when Newfoundland was at the heart of one of North America's most vital industries: cod fishing.
