The Metamorphosis of the Herring
EDITORS COMMENTS
by A.K. Macdonald is a striking visual commentary on the transformation of the humble herring from a common fish caught by hardworking fishermen at the quayside to a luxurious delicacy savored in the elegant One-over-the-Eight Supper Club in London during the 1930s. In the first illustration, we witness the harsh reality of the herring fishing industry. Workers clad in heavy coats and caps stand at the quayside, sorting through a fresh catch of herrings that have been recently hauled in by a fishing trawler. Seagulls circle overhead, eager for their share of the catch. The scene exudes an air of industry and hard work, with the rough texture of the boats and the roughness of the workers' hands contrasting sharply with the sleek, silver herrings. In stark contrast, the second illustration transports us to the glamorous One-over-the-Eight Supper Club in London. Here, fashionably elegant diners sit at tables adorned with white linen and gleaming silverware, enjoying the delights of the modish kipper. Waiters in formal attire glide between the tables, offering refills and attending to the needs of their well-heeled patrons. The atmosphere is one of opulence and indulgence, a far cry from the harsh realities of the herring fishing industry. Macdonald's illustrations provide a fascinating glimpse into the historical transformation of the herring from a common fish to a sought-after delicacy. The contrast between the quayside and the supper club highlights the vast disparity between the people involved in the herring industry and those who consume it as a luxury item. The illustrations also serve as a reminder of the rich history of the fishing industry and the role it played in shaping the culinary landscape of the 1930s.
