EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century color engraving transports us back in time to the bustling fish market of Rotterdam, Netherlands. The print, created by J. de Vor and housed in the Maritiem Museum Rotterdam, beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of this historical scene. In the foreground, we see a signature mast proudly displaying a flag as fishermen go about their daily business of selling their fresh catch. The market stalls are filled with an array of seafood delicacies, enticing buyers with their mouthwatering displays. Men and women haggle over prices while a loyal dog faithfully accompanies its owner through the busy crowd. The architecture surrounding the market is characteristic of 17th-century style, adding to the charm and authenticity of this illustration. Smoke billows from chimneys as tall ships grace the background, reminding us that Rotterdam has always been a city deeply connected to its maritime roots. As our eyes wander further into the image, we notice large groups of people engaged in animated conversations amidst rows of buildings. Historical clothing adorns men and women alike, transporting us even deeper into this richly detailed snapshot from centuries past. This remarkable print not only offers a glimpse into everyday life during this era but also serves as a testament to Rotterdam's enduring legacy as a thriving hub for trade and commerce throughout history.
