EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Newhaven fishwife in Scotland, circa 1912. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Alexander Inglis, whose talent shines through in his portrayal of this strong and resilient woman. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire, the fishwife carries herself with grace and determination. Her long skirt sways as she walks, while a basket rests securely on her back supported by a headstrap. This image not only showcases the industry and hard work associated with fishing but also highlights the rich cultural heritage of Scotland. The monochrome effect adds an air of nostalgia to the photograph, transporting us back to early 20th century Britain. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the intricate folds of her clothing to the expression on her face that reflects years of experience. As we gaze at this portrait, we are reminded of the countless women who played vital roles in sustaining their communities through their involvement in industries like fishing. It serves as a powerful testament to their strength and resilience. This print is part of "The Living Races of Mankind" collection published by Hutchinson & Co. , London in 1912. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also as an ethnographic record capturing a specific moment in time within Scottish culture.
