EDITORS COMMENTS
Children Shrimping at Ostend, Circa 1885 This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as children engage in the traditional pastime of shrimping at Ostend, Belgium, around 1885. Dressed in clothing typical of the era, the youngsters wade into the shallow waters of the pools, their expressions filled with excitement and determination. The children are seen using simple tools to catch the shrimp – long-handled nets and wicker baskets. The nets are held taut as they dip them into the water, allowing the shrimp to become trapped within the fine mesh. The baskets, filled with their catch, sit nearby, ready to be emptied and refilled. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, where the joys of childhood were found in the natural world and the simple pleasures of spending a day by the sea. The children's focus is on their task at hand, oblivious to the passing of time and the world around them. Ostend, located on the North Sea coast, has a rich maritime history and has long been known for its shrimping industry. The town's shallow pools, formed by the tide, provide the perfect conditions for these crustaceans to thrive. The children's activity not only provided them with a source of food but also served as an essential part of their education, teaching them valuable skills and instilling a deep appreciation for the natural world. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the connection between the people of Ostend and the sea, a connection that has endured for generations. It invites us to reflect on the importance of cherishing our past and the simple pleasures that can be found in the natural world.
