The Flying-fish Industry of Barbadoes
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the bustling fishing industry in Barbados. This print, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life and economic activities of this Caribbean island. In this scene, we see fishermen returning from their successful expedition on small boats laden with their precious catch - flying fish. The vibrant streets are filled with activity as locals gather around to witness this spectacle and eagerly await their turn to purchase these delectable creatures at the market. The print beautifully captures not only the industrious nature of Barbadian fishermen but also highlights the unique method employed in catching these elusive fish. With dining establishments hawking fresh seafood delicacies nearby, it is evident that fishing plays a significant role in both sustenance and commerce for the people of Barbados. Transportation also features prominently in this artwork; tugboats can be seen assisting larger vessels carrying passengers or cargo. These means of transport further emphasize how integral fishing is to both local livelihoods and regional trade within North America's western hemisphere. As we admire this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand an important chapter in Barbados' history - one where its flying-fish industry thrived and contributed significantly to its cultural heritage and economic prosperity.
