EDITORS COMMENTS
A Fish Curer's Yard, circa 1918 This evocative oil painting captures the scene of a bustling fish curing yard, with a horse-drawn carriage stationed next to a traditional stone building. The building's weathered facade and thatched roof suggest a long history of use, while the array of barrels stacked high around it attest to the industrious nature of the fish curing process. The barrels, each brimming with fish, are a vibrant mix of colors, from deep reds and oranges to earthy browns and greens. The carriage, with its worn wheels and faded paint, seems almost out of place amidst the hustle and bustle of the yard. Yet it adds an intriguing element of contrast, hinting at the connection between the fish curing industry and the wider world beyond. This painting, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is the work of Scottish artist James Whitelaw Hamilton. Hamilton's masterful use of color and texture brings the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The painting is believed to have been created around 1918, a time when the fish curing industry was a significant contributor to Scotland's economy. The painting offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a world that has largely disappeared. It invites us to reflect on the history of the fishing industry and the people who worked in it, and to appreciate the beauty and richness of Scotland's maritime heritage.
