This engraving from the 19th century depicts a scene of ancient Egyptians fishing with nets, showcasing the daily life and customs of this civilization. The intricate details in the artwork bring to life the bustling activity by the river as fishermen work together to haul in their catch.
The image is part of a series titled "Rays from the East or Illustrations of the Holy Scriptures," published by Religious Tract Society around 1870. It offers a glimpse into biblical times, highlighting the importance of fishing as a means of sustenance for communities along the Nile River.
The composition captures not only the physical act of fishing but also conveys a sense of camaraderie and cooperation among these Egyptian fishermen. The black and white tones add a timeless quality to the engraving, emphasizing the enduring traditions and practices depicted in this historical moment.
