EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures the abundance of edible shellfish found in British waters during the 19th century. The print showcases a diverse array of marine life, showcasing the rich food supply that sustains both humans and other creatures alike. The image depicts various species of shellfish, including mussels, cockles, oysters, scallops, and whelks. These delicacies are nestled on the sea bed alongside crustaceans like brown shrimp, spider crab, Norway lobster, spiny lobster, crayfish, common shore crab, cleanser swimming crab, red shrimp, velvet swimming crab and cornish crab. The underwater scene is teeming with life as these creatures thrive in their natural habitat. This visual feast not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also highlights Britain's strong connection to its surrounding seas. It serves as a reminder of how important fishing is to British culture and economy. Fishing implements such as line fishing are subtly depicted in the artwork. As we admire this stunning print from a private collection through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform without commercial use intentions; let us appreciate the intricate balance between human consumption and sustainable practices when it comes to our precious food supply from the sea.
