EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the humble life of a typical fisherman's cottage on the picturesque Isle of Man in the 19th century. Published in The London Illustrated News in 1881, this archival engraving offers a glimpse into the daily struggles and simple joys of family life during that era. In this snapshot, we see a hardworking woman, known as a fishwife, diligently cleaning freshly caught fish. With her sleeves rolled up and apron tied tightly around her waist, she embodies strength and resilience. Despite living in modest surroundings, she carries out her duties with pride and determination. The presence of a nursing mother holding her baby adds an endearing touch to this scene. It reminds us that amidst their challenging circumstances, love and care were still at the heart of these families' lives. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who lived through difficult times. Through its vintage aesthetic and historical significance, this illustration transports us to another time - an era characterized by simplicity yet marked by hardship for many working-class families. It is an invaluable piece from Ken Welsh's collection that allows us to appreciate our past while reflecting on how far we have come since then.
