EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Newhaven Fishwife from the late 19th century. Taken by Alexander Adam Inglis, this print showcases the traditional dress and work of these Scottish women. The fishwife in the photo is adorned in a striped skirt, drawn up for ease of movement, along with a black shawl and striped apron. These garments were characteristic of the attire worn by Newhaven fishwives during that era. With her basket at her side, she stands as a symbol of hard work and dedication to her trade. Inglis skillfully captures not only the woman's physical appearance but also conveys a sense of strength and resilience through his lens. Her weathered face tells stories of long hours spent working in Scotland's fishing industry. This image serves as a window into history, offering us an intimate glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women who played an integral role in their community's economy. It reminds us that behind every industry lies individuals whose labor often goes unnoticed. As we admire this photograph today, let it serve as a tribute to all those who have dedicated themselves to their craft throughout history. Their contributions deserve recognition and appreciation for shaping our world as we know it today.
