EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from HARPERs WEEKLY, 1886 takes us back to a significant moment in history - the fishery troubles of late 19th century. The scene is set in the picturesque harbor of Hearts Content, Newfoundland, where an American boy and a Canadian woman are seen engaged in an essential task - catching squid for bait. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this fishing expedition. In the foreground, we see the rowboat gently gliding through calm waters as the young boy skillfully maneuvers it with determination. His eyes fixed on his surroundings, he expertly wields his fishing net to scoop up these elusive creatures beneath him. Beside him stands a woman, her face reflecting both concentration and anticipation. Dressed in traditional attire, she lends her expertise to this age-old practice that has sustained generations before them. Together they form a harmonious duo working tirelessly against nature's whims. The backdrop showcases the charming exterior of Hearts Content harbor - its rustic charm juxtaposed against modernity slowly encroaching upon their way of life. This image serves as a poignant reminder of not only their resilience but also highlights how integral fishing was to their livelihoods and cultural heritage. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this historical snapshot transports us back over a century ago when communities relied heavily on such endeavors for sustenance and survival. It serves as both an educational tool and testament to our shared human history – reminding us never to forget those who came before us or
