EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Yorkshire Fisherfolk, c1900" by artist Ethel Kate Burgess takes us back in time to a coastal community in England. The image showcases the rugged beauty of the outdoors, with the vast sea serving as a backdrop for this snapshot of daily life. In this scene, we see a group of women and men engaged in their traditional fishing activities. The women, known as fishwives, are dressed in typical attire for the era and play an integral role in supporting their families' livelihoods. Among them is a young boy who eagerly observes his surroundings, perhaps learning the trade from his elders. The beach serves as both workplace and playground for these Yorkshire fisherfolk. It's evident that family ties run deep within this close-knit community as they work together harmoniously against the picturesque coastal landscape. Ethel Kate Burgess skillfully captures the essence of this 20th-century fishing village through her watercolour portrait. Her attention to detail brings out vibrant colors that reflect not only the physical environment but also the resilience and strength embodied by these hardworking individuals. This remarkable print provides us with a glimpse into history - an intimate portrayal of local people living amidst nature's bounty. Preserved by The Studio Volume 20 publication and now made available by The Print Collector29, it allows us to appreciate and celebrate the rich heritage of Yorkshire's fishing communities during this era.
