EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of fishing for cod on the Grand Banks, Newfoundland in the 19th century. The image showcases a scene filled with adventure and resilience as French fishermen navigate stormy seas in their boats, braving the unpredictable waves of the Atlantic Ocean. As they cast their lines into the water, these skilled fishermen demonstrate their expertise in an industry that played a significant role in both Canadian and French history. The print is part of Eugene Guenin's renowned work "La Nouvelle-France" published by Hachette in 1900. It offers a glimpse into life during colonial times, highlighting how fishing served as a vital means of transport and sustenance for both Canadians and French settlers. The composition beautifully portrays the rugged beauty of North America's western hemisphere while emphasizing France's influence through its overseas departments and territories. The intricate details capture not only the determination of these fishermen but also showcase various fishing implements used during this era. With its digitally cleaned image, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also admire the artistic mastery behind it. Whether you are fascinated by maritime history or simply intrigued by French culture, this artwork transports you back to an era when men braved treacherous waters to secure one of nature's most abundant resources - cod.
