EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fishing in the Norwegian Ocean" takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a scene of bustling activity on icy waters. The illustration is derived from Olaus Magnus' renowned work, Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus, published in Rome in 1555. In this snapshot of history, we witness the livelihoods of Scandinavian fishermen as they brave the treacherous northern seas. A fleet of sturdy ships can be seen navigating through ice floes, their sails billowing against a stark sky. Men armed with harpoons diligently work to secure their catch while standing atop frozen surfaces. The image captures the essence of hard labor and determination that defined these Norse seafarers' lives. Each fisherman clings onto his trusty stick for balance, equipped with crampons to navigate slippery terrains. With holes drilled into the ice below them, they patiently wait for their prey to emerge from beneath. Amidst this harsh environment teeming with wildlife and marine creatures, these men demonstrate an unwavering dedication to their trade. Their efforts not only sustain themselves but also contribute to Scandinavia's thriving fishing industry. This remarkable woodcut transports us back centuries ago when man battled nature's elements for survival. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's enduring connection with our natural surroundings and pays homage to those who have made their living off its bounties throughout history.
