EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Our Fishing Industries, Mackerel Fishing at Eastbourne" takes us back to the bustling fishing scene of 19th-century England. Created by Percy Robert Craft in 1883, this print showcases the vibrant activity that surrounded mackerel fishing in Eastbourne. In the early morning light, fishermen can be seen packing their boats with essential fishing implements and casting their nets into the deep blue sea. The beach is alive with energy as these skilled professionals embark on their daily quest to catch a netful of mackerel. As the day progresses, the hardworking fishermen return to shore with their bountiful hauls. The fish are carefully handled and stored on ice to preserve their freshness before being taken to auction. This thriving industry attracted not only local fishermen but also Dutch professionals from neighboring Netherlands who brought their expertise in line fishing techniques. This engraving beautifully captures both human and animal life intertwined within this vital economic activity. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors relied on nature's resources for sustenance and livelihood. Today, this historical artwork continues to inspire awe and appreciation for those who dedicated themselves to the ancient art of fishing. It transports us back in time, allowing us a glimpse into an era when our connection with wildlife was more intimate and dependent upon its abundance for survival.
