Setting the Bow-Net, 1886 - A Glimpse into 19th Century British Aquatic Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white platinum print, titled "Setting the Bow-Net, 1886" takes us back to a bygone era in rural Britain. Created by Dr Peter Henry Emerson and Thomas Frederick Goodall, this photograph captures a scene of men setting up their fishing nets on a tranquil marshland. The image showcases the simplicity and rustic charm of life during the late 19th century. A rowing boat gently glides through calm waters as two men work together to secure an eel trap known as the Bow-Net. The surrounding fen landscape adds to the picturesque beauty of this snapshot from history. With great attention to detail, Emerson and Goodall skillfully portray not only the physical setting but also evoke a sense of regionalism. This piece reflects their deep appreciation for capturing everyday moments that define rural life in Britain. As we observe this timeless portrait, we are transported back in time - witnessing an age when transportation relied heavily on waterways and fishing played a vital role in sustaining communities. The photo invites us to reflect upon our connection with nature and reminds us of simpler times when people lived harmoniously with their surroundings. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this remarkable artwork is a testament to both Dr Peter Henry Emerson's pioneering contributions to photography as well as Thomas Frederick Goodall's artistic vision. It serves as a window into an era long gone
