EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a fish market in Stavanger, Norway during the 1910s. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of fresh fish being bought and sold. At the heart of the action, a woman in traditional Norwegian dress carefully selects live fish from a fisherman's basket. She holds a woven basket in one hand, ready to receive her purchase, while her hat is tucked under her arm. The fisherman, dressed in a thick sweater and woolen hat, holds out a net filled with wriggling fish, their scales glinting in the sunlight. Behind them, the wooden buildings of the market stand tall, their gabled roofs and intricate designs a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Scandinavia. Men and women, dressed in hats and heavy coats, move about the marketplace, haggling over prices and exchanging friendly banter with the fishermen. The market, with its lively energy and sense of community, is a testament to the enduring tradition of fishing and trade in Norway.
