EDITORS COMMENTS
Quantities of codfish drying in the sun at Aveiro by the mouth of the Vouga, Portugal, c1930s. This print captures a scene that speaks volumes about the rich fishing industry and coastal life in early 20th century Portugal. The image showcases rows upon rows of freshly caught codfish laid out to dry under the warm sun, creating a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of Aveiro's picturesque coastline. The presence of fishing boats anchored nearby adds an authentic touch to this snapshot from history, reminding us of the vital role these vessels played in sustaining local communities. Amidst this bustling activity, we see women tending to their daily tasks, diligently turning over fish or attending to other duties onshore. Their presence highlights not only their integral involvement in this industry but also serves as a testament to their resilience and hard work. The architectural details are also worth noting - traditional Portuguese rooftops dotting the landscape add character and charm to this seaside setting. The Atlantic Ocean stretches endlessly beyond, symbolizing both opportunity and challenge for those whose lives revolve around it. This print is part of 'Countries of the World, ' edited by JA Hammerton, which aimed to provide readers with glimpses into different cultures across continents during that era. AW Cutler's skillful composition allows viewers today to step back in time and immerse themselves in an era when fishing was not just an occupation but a way of life.
