EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Fishwife from Le Portel, Pas-de-Calais, France around 1900. The image, taken by Michel Berthaud, showcases the traditional dress and headdress worn by these hardworking women of the fishing community. Le Portel experienced significant growth during the 19th century due to its thriving fishing industry, alongside its neighboring port town Boulogne-sur-Mer. The sailors of Portel were just as numerous as those in Boulogne before World War I. In this portrait, a young fishwife is depicted with her profile turned slightly towards the camera. She wears a distinctive bonnet adorned with delicate earrings that add an elegant touch to her attire. Her serious expression reflects both strength and resilience - qualities necessary for their demanding occupation. The photo offers us a glimpse into the lives of these dedicated women who played an integral role in supporting their families through their work in fishing. Their contribution was vital to sustaining both themselves and their community. Berthaud's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage associated with Le Portel and its deep connection to maritime traditions. It is an evocative representation of French history that continues to resonate today.
