EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a glimpse of life in Wick Harbour during the Victorian period in Scotland. The bustling scene shows herring boats lined up along the dock, ready to set sail for their next fishing expedition. The vintage feel of the image transports us back in time to an era when fishing was a way of life for many Scottish communities.
The lantern slide quality of the photograph adds an extra layer of nostalgia, giving us a glimpse into what daily life may have looked like for fishermen and fisherwomen during this time. The detail captured in the image allows us to see the intricate workings of the boats and the skillful craftsmanship that went into building them.
In the background, we can see young girls working as gutters, preparing freshly caught fish for market. This serves as a reminder of the hard work and dedication required to sustain these coastal communities through fishing.
Overall, this print is not just a beautiful piece of art but also a historical document that sheds light on an important aspect of Scotland's maritime heritage. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who made their living from the sea during this bygone era.
