EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative image of pilchard fishing in Cornwall, captured in the late Victorian or early Edwardian era by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The scene unfolds on a misty morning, as a group of fishermen prepare to cast their seine net into the shimmering waters. Dressed in traditional fishing attire, they work in unison to haul the heavy net, its meshed panels glistening with the silvery scales of the pilchards it has already caught. The pilchard, a small, oily fish, was once a staple of the Cornish diet and a vital source of income for local fishermen. The use of the seine net, a large, weighted net with floats along the top and lead weights at the bottom, was a common method for catching these fish in the shallow waters off the Cornish coast. In the background, a lantern casts a warm, flickering light over the scene, illuminating the faces of the fishermen as they work. The vintage photograph, with its soft focus and rich tonality, transports us back to a time when the daily catch was a matter of survival, and the simple pleasures of community and the natural world were the greatest treasures of all. This beautiful print, with its timeless charm and evocative imagery, makes a stunning addition to any home or office, and serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the sea, the land, and the people who have lived and worked in harmony with both for generations.
