EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fisherfolk at St. Ives, 1893" by artist John Robertson Reid takes us back in time to the coastal town of St. Ives in England during the late 19th century. The image showcases a vibrant community deeply connected to the sea and its resources. In this scene, we see a group of hardworking fisherfolk, predominantly women and children, gathered at the water's edge with their fishing boats anchored nearby. The green hues of nature envelop them as they go about their daily tasks under the bright daylight. The print not only captures the essence of local industry but also portrays motherhood and parenting within this tight-knit community. A lady can be seen caring for her child while others engage in various activities related to fishing. Transportation plays a crucial role as these sturdy boats serve as both livelihood and means of navigating Cornwall's rugged coastline. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when water transport was vital for trade and sustenance. Preserved within Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums' collection, this artwork stands as a testament to Reid's talent in capturing landscapes with oil paints. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalizes an important chapter in history that continues to resonate today. As we admire this remarkable piece from Frederick John Nettleford's collection, it reminds us of our rich heritage and how communities have thrived through generations by harnessing their geographical features such as St. Ives' bountiful waters.
