EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Our Fishing Industries, Crab-Catching in Cornwall" takes us back to the coastal village of Cornish in 1883. The image showcases the bustling fishing industry that thrived in this picturesque region. In the foreground, we see a group of skilled fishermen aboard a crabber boat, diligently engaged in their trade. They are surrounded by an array of fishing implements such as pots and traps used for catching crabs and lobsters. The men work together with precision, casting their lines into the water while others collect crabs from gigantic pots. The scene is set against a backdrop of foggy weather, adding an air of mystery to the print. Despite the misty atmosphere, one can still make out other fishing boats dotting the horizon as they go about their daily tasks. This engraving not only captures a snapshot of life in Cornwall's fishing village but also highlights how crucial these industries were to local communities during this era. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and our reliance on its resources for sustenance. Crafted with meticulous detail by Percy Robert Craft, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in England's maritime heritage.
