EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Alfieri in the 20th century, we see a Channel Islander engrossed in inspecting his bountiful catch of ormers or abalone after a productive day out collecting them. The image transports us back to 8 October 1920, capturing a moment frozen in time. The dedicated gatherer stands proudly amidst an array of shellfish delicacies, carefully examining each one with great precision. His weathered hands delicately hold the sea snails as he inspects their quality and size. Dressed impeccably in a suit and bow tie, he exudes an air of sophistication even while engaged in such humble work. A pipe dangles from his mouth, emitting wisps of smoke that add an intriguing element to the scene. A hat sits atop his head, shielding him from the elements as he carries out his laborious task along the picturesque English Channel. Ropes lie scattered around him, evidence of the tools used for this traditional method known as "ormering". This ancient practice involves hand-picking these prized shellfish directly from their natural habitat beneath rocky shores. Alfieri's masterful monochrome composition perfectly captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of this Channel Islander's connection to nature and its abundant offerings. It is through photographs like these that we gain insight into historical practices and traditions that have shaped our coastal communities throughout Europe.
