EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a fish market in Bergen, Norway during the 1910s. The scene is set at an outdoor market, where wooden tables and crates are laden with an array of fresh fish, expertly displayed by the local vendors. The rain gently falls, adding a sense of authenticity to the scene as the people go about their daily business. Men and women, dressed in traditional Norwegian attire, huddle under umbrellas as they shop for their dinner. Some customers carefully inspect the catch of the day, while others engage in lively conversation with the fishmongers. The rain-soaked cobblestones and the sound of the market hustle and bustle create a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The market, a vital part of the community, is a testament to the rich fishing tradition of Bergen and the surrounding fjords. The people of Bergen have relied on the sea for their livelihoods for centuries, and the fish market remains a symbol of their connection to the sea and to each other. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era when the daily rhythm of life revolved around the market and the fresh catch of the day. It is a reminder of the enduring bond between people and the natural world, and the importance of community and tradition.
