EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Beel-Fishing in Assam" takes us back to the 19th century in India. The image showcases a scene of traditional fishing practices in the region of Assam, beautifully captured by Walter Paget. In this snapshot of Indian culture, we witness local fishermen engaged in their daily routine on a serene riverbank. They skillfully handle their fishing implements as they prepare to cast their lines into the beel (a term used for a shallow lake or swamp). The baskets beside them are ready to hold their catch. The artist's attention to detail transports us to this distant time and place, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage and traditions of Assam. Through his masterful strokes, Paget captures not only the physicality but also the essence of these hardworking individuals who rely on fishing for sustenance and livelihood. This print originally appeared as an illustration in The Illustrated London News back in May 1891, providing readers with a glimpse into life on distant shores. Today, it serves as a historical artifact that reminds us of our interconnectedness across cultures and continents. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that we can continue to admire its beauty and significance. Let this engraving transport you back through time as you immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Beel-Fishing in Assam.
