EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DOCK FISHING, 1877. The Great Dock Fisheries" takes us back to a late afternoon in America during the year 1877. The image showcases a group of men, including a young boy, engaged in the age-old tradition of fishing on a weathered dock. Engraved after an original drawing by Sol Eytinge, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of life at that time. The scene is set against an exterior backdrop with dilapidated buildings and worn-out wooden planks underfoot. It's evident that these fishermen come from humble backgrounds as they are depicted in tattered clothing, reflecting their poor economic status. Seated along the edge of the dock, each man holds onto his fishing pole with anticipation and determination etched across their faces. Their weather-beaten hands speak volumes about their dedication to providing for themselves and their families through this means. The inclusion of a young boy among them adds depth to this narrative; it symbolizes passing down traditions from one generation to another while instilling values such as patience and resilience. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time - witnessing not just a simple act of fishing but also glimpsing into the lives of hardworking individuals who found solace amidst challenging circumstances. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even in times when resources may be scarce or opportunities limited, human spirit prevails – finding joy and purpose even on modest docks like these.
