EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the year 1738, providing a glimpse into the bustling Newfoundland fishery. The line engraving, created by an English artist of that time, beautifully depicts the entire process of fishing for, curing, and drying codfish in this Atlantic Ocean region. In this scene, we are transported to an exterior view where a ship is anchored near the shore. A group of hardworking fishermen can be seen diligently engaged in their tasks - some casting their nets into the water while others expertly handle freshly caught codfish. This image truly captures the essence of maritime commerce and industry during this era. The men's dedication is evident as they work tirelessly under the open sky. With utmost care and precision, they cure and dry these precious fish which will later become a vital source of food for many communities. As we delve deeper into this historic artwork, it becomes apparent that each element has been meticulously portrayed – from the intricate details on the ship to every worker's expression etched onto their faces. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical accuracy. This print transports us back in time to witness firsthand how Newfoundland's fishery played a significant role in shaping Canadian history. It reminds us of our ancestors' resilience and resourcefulness as they labored together to sustain themselves through this thriving industry known for its stock fish exports.
