EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling waterfront of Rijeka (Fiume), Croatia, a group of local fishermen gather their catch of the day. Dating back to circa 1903, this evocative photograph transports us to a simpler time, when the daily rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the Adriatic Sea. The fishermen, dressed in traditional garb and huddled around their nets, display an air of camaraderie and shared purpose as they sort through their hard-earned bounty. The backdrop of the image is the picturesque harbor of Rijeka, with its grandiose architecture and bustling port activity. The historic city, then known as Fiume, was a thriving hub of maritime trade and commerce, attracting people from all corners of the Mediterranean. Yet despite the economic prosperity, the fishermen and their way of life remained an integral part of the community. The photograph captures the raw beauty and rugged charm of the region, with the crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the boats and the surrounding buildings. The fishermen's faces, etched with the lines of hard work and the sun, tell the story of a life lived in harmony with the sea. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape the coastal communities of Croatia.
