EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricacies of sardine fishing and curing in the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the various stages involved in this industry. In the foreground, we see fishermen actively engaged in their tasks. Some are taking part in line fishing, skillfully casting their nets into the water to catch these silver fish. Others are seen landing their bountiful catches onto sturdy boats specially designed for this purpose. Moving towards the center of the image, we witness a bustling scene where workers diligently process and cure these delicate creatures. Sardines are being cleaned, salted, and carefully packed into boxes to preserve them for future consumption. A large boiling pot is visible nearby as bones are removed from some of the fish before they undergo further processing. The background reveals additional elements that contribute to this thriving industry. Tugboats can be spotted transporting both passengers and cargo across calm waters while sardine boats dotting the horizon emphasize just how vital this trade was during that era. Overall, this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into an important aspect of maritime history - showcasing not only the techniques employed but also highlighting how transportation played a crucial role in sustaining such industries.
