EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color photograph captures the bustling scene of fishermen departing from Dunkerque, France for their cod fishing expedition in Iceland. Taken by a talented French photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the rich maritime history and cultural ties between these two nations. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in Charles Brossard's book "La France Du Nord" published by E Flammarion in 1900. It beautifully depicts the excitement and anticipation felt by both the fishermen and their families as they set sail on this perilous journey across the North Sea. Dunkerque, known for its strategic location on the northern coast of France, has long been associated with fishing traditions. The departure depicted here symbolizes not only economic livelihood but also represents a significant aspect of French culture. The photo offers viewers a glimpse into early European photography techniques while highlighting the enduring bond between France and Iceland. As part of Europe's rich heritage, this image serves as a reminder of our shared history within the European Union. Bridgeman Images presents this snapshot that encapsulates both historical significance and artistic beauty. It allows us to appreciate how photography can capture moments that transcend time, preserving memories for generations to come.
