EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Percy Robert Craft, we are transported back to the bustling fishing industry of Cornwall in the late 19th century. The scene depicts a group of hardworking fishermen engaged in drift-net fishing for pilchards off the coast. As the morning sun casts its golden glow over the harbor, these skilled seafarers set out on their boats with hopes and wishes for a fruitful catch. With nets stowed neatly on board, they eagerly await their captain's command to begin hauling in their precious cargo. The camaraderie among these friends turned colleagues is evident as they work together seamlessly, each playing their part in this age-old profession. The cabin of one boat serves as a hub of activity, where strategies are discussed and stories shared during moments of respite. The image captures not only the physical labor involved but also conveys an air of anticipation and excitement that comes with every successful haul. It is a testament to the dedication and resilience required to thrive in such demanding conditions. Mevagissey pier stands tall in the background, serving as a reminder of how integral fishing industries were to coastal communities like Cornwall. This print offers us a glimpse into history, reminding us of our connection to both nature and tradition while honoring those who made their living from it.
