EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of coastal life in England during the early 20th century. The image, titled "Coastwise: Mending Nets," shows a group of fishermen diligently repairing their fishing nets along the shoreline. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable, from the intricate patterns of the nets to the rugged beauty of the coastline in the background.
The photograph was originally part of a set of cigarette cards on the theme of Coastwise, issued by Senior Service in 1939. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when traditional fishing practices were still prevalent along England's shores. The sense of community and camaraderie among these fishermen is palpable, as they work together to mend their nets and prepare for another day out at sea.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to an age when life revolved around the rhythms of nature and the bounty of the ocean. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to both land and sea, and how generations past have relied on these resources for sustenance and livelihood. This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into history, capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to resonate with viewers today.
