EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the bustling salmon cannery on the Pacific coast in Astoria, Oregon during the 1880s. The vibrant illustration showcases a significant era of American history, where sailing ships played a vital role in coastal trade and commerce. This vintage print transports us to a time when the ocean was teeming with life and provided sustenance for communities along its shores. The image depicts a thriving maritime factory nestled against the backdrop of Astoria's picturesque coastline. Towering masts of cargo ships dominate the scene as they unload their precious canned treasures onto waiting carts. The canning industry, symbolized by rows upon rows of neatly stacked cans, served as an essential link between sea and table. As we delve into this piece of art, we are reminded of how food processing has evolved over time. This historic illustration sheds light on North America's rich fishing heritage and highlights Oregon's prominent role in supplying seafood to hungry consumers across the United States. With every brushstroke meticulously applied to this woodcut masterpiece, it becomes evident that this image is not just about business or transportation; it encapsulates an entire era defined by exploration, innovation, and resilience. It serves as a visual testament to our connection with nature's bounty and our ability to adapt it for sustenance while honoring its beauty
