EDITORS COMMENTS
Salmon Fishing on a River in Norway, 18th Century: A Scenic and Historical Vignette This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created after an illustration by Giulio Ferrario for the publication "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of salmon fishing in Norway during the 18th century. The image showcases the picturesque beauty of the Norwegian landscape, with its crystal-clear river, lush greenery, and towering mountains in the background. The scene is populated by several figures dressed in traditional Scandinavian attire, engaged in the ancient art of salmon fishing. The fishermen are depicted using a variety of traditional tools, such as long rods, nets, and baskets, to catch the prized fish. The use of handcoloured techniques adds a vibrant and intricate touch to the image, bringing the people and their surroundings to life. The engraving also provides a fascinating window into the historical fashion of the time. The men are dressed in long, woolen tunics, often adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery, while the women wear long, flowing skirts and shawls. The overall effect is one of a harmonious blend of nature, tradition, and culture. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of salmon fishing in Norway and Scandinavia. It also highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating the past, as well as the beauty and allure of the natural world.
