EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching captures the daily life of Sydney Harbour's Prawners in the early 20th century. The scene depicts four individuals intently sorting their freshly caught prawns and supplies on the dockside. The intricate details of the etching reveal the simple yet essential tools of their trade - baskets, crates, and nets - spread out around them. The boats, with their distinctive shapes and colors, are moored nearby, ready for the next fishing expedition. The Prawners of Sydney Harbour were an integral part of the local fishing community, contributing significantly to the city's seafood industry. Their livelihoods were closely tied to the rhythms of the harbor and the seasons, with the warmer months bringing the best prawn catches. This image, from the March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the harbor teemed with activity, and the daily catch was a source of sustenance and community pride. The etching's timeless quality and intricate detail make it an invaluable historical record and an inspiring work of art.
