EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the Closing of the Fisheries Exhibition" transports us back to a bustling evening in 19th century London. The artwork, created by John Henry Lorimer, captures the essence of this grand event that celebrated the fishing industry. In the foreground, we see an interested group of individuals gathered around a Belgian fishwoman who proudly displays her catch. Her vibrant attire contrasts beautifully with the monochromatic scene. Nearby, boys eagerly observe as they anticipate a delicious fish dinner. As we move our gaze further into the image, we witness various professions associated with fishing represented: old salts sharing stories and experiences while HMS Arethusa looms majestically in the background. The Prince of Wales himself is present at this closing ceremony, his presence marked by cheering crowds paying homage to his support for these exhibitions. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as evening fetes commence under a darkening sky. This print not only showcases an important historical moment but also highlights how art can capture fleeting moments in time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection for all to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of London's rich maritime history and its enduring connection to fishing traditions that have shaped communities for centuries.
