EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri on 8 October 1920, we witness the resilience and resourcefulness of a Channel Islander as he navigates through the shallow waters with his bountiful catch of ormers or abalone. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this snapshot from the early 20th century. With determination etched on his face, the fisherman carefully balances a load of shellfish on his back, showcasing the fruits of his labor. This image transports us to an era when hand-picking was not only a way of sustenance but also a testament to human adaptability in harvesting nature's treasures. The picturesque English Channel forms the backdrop for this scene, its tranquil waves gently lapping against rugged rocks adorned with seaweed. As our gaze follows the man's journey along the seashore, we can almost taste the salty breeze that permeates every inch of this coastal landscape. Alfieri's lens captures not just a solitary figure engaged in fishing but also offers us a glimpse into an entire community reliant on these abundant waters for their livelihoods. Through this photograph, we are reminded of Europeana photography's power to preserve cultural heritage and document traditional practices that have shaped generations. This print serves as both a visual feast and historical artifact—a tribute to those brave gatherers who braved unpredictable tides and treacherous terrain in pursuit of sustenance from beneath the sea.
