EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures a unique sight from the 19th century - a Herring 'horse' loaded with smoked fish on sticks. The image, taken by T.W. Smillie, showcases the intricate process of smoking and preserving herring in an era where photography was still in its early stages.
The herring 'horse' is laden with rows of smoked fish skewered onto sticks, creating a visually striking display of abundance and craftsmanship. Each stick holds multiple pieces of perfectly cured herring, ready to be enjoyed as a delicacy or traded in bustling marketplaces.
The engraving technique used to capture this scene adds a timeless quality to the photograph, highlighting the artistry and attention to detail present in early photography. The composition is both artistic and informative, offering viewers a glimpse into historical fishing practices and culinary traditions.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when smoking fish was not only a means of preservation but also an art form passed down through generations. The herring 'horse' serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in utilizing nature's bounty for sustenance and commerce.
Overall, this print is not just a visual treat for the eyes but also a window into the past that reminds us of our enduring connection to food production and consumption throughout history.
