EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1873, captures a moment of pure joy and productivity at the seashore as a shoal of mackerel is brought in by a group of dedicated fisherfolk. The image is a testament to the rich fishing traditions of Britain during the Victorian era. In the foreground, a fisherwoman, dressed in a long, dark skirt and a white blouse, expertly sorts through the catch, separating the desirable mackerel from the unwanted byssus or 'sea squirts.' Her deft movements are mirrored by her companions, all focused intently on their task. A fisherman, clad in a striped sweater and trousers, stands nearby, ready to help or lend a hand. The fisherwives, dressed in their traditional garb, are seen busily filling large woven baskets with the freshly caught mackerel. The baskets, woven from willow or rattan, are a common sight at the seashore, providing an essential means for transporting the catch back to their homes or to market. The boats, with their distinctive shapes and rigging, sit quietly in the background, their nets still wet from the sea. The fishermen, having completed another successful catch, will soon set sail once more, in search of the next shoal. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the close connection between the people and the sea, the importance of community, and the simple pleasure of a day's catch. It is a snapshot of a time when the bounty of the sea was a vital source of food, trade, and livelihood for the coastal communities of Britain.
