EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling fishing village of Aberdeen, Scotland. In this professional studio portrait, we see a fishwife proudly posing with her basket filled with freshly caught fish. Her contented smile and happy expression reflect the traditional values and hardworking nature of women in the fishing industry during that era. The photograph captures the essence of Victorian life, showcasing a middle-aged Caucasian woman dressed in typical attire for a fishwife. Standing confidently, she exudes strength and resilience as she looks away from the camera. The historic significance of this image is palpable, transporting us to an era when coastal communities relied heavily on their fishing trade. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect from her pose to her creel (basket) highlights her industrious spirit. This full-length portrait showcases not only one person but also represents countless females who played vital roles within Scottish fishing villages. Taken around 1900, this timeless photograph serves as a window into history, preserving the memory of these hardworking women who were often referred to as "fish fags" "fishlasses" or "fish wives". Their contributions were invaluable as they supported their husbands' work at sea. With its vertical composition and stunning monochromatic tones, this studio shot offers a glimpse into the past while evoking feelings of nostalgia and admiration for those who came before us.
