EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Juvenile Shrimpers, Deal, 19th century" we are transported back in time to the coastal town of Deal in the 1800s. The image captures a group of young boys standing proudly on a small fishing boat, their faces filled with determination and excitement. With nets in hand, they are ready to embark on their shrimping adventure. The setting is idyllic - the vast expanse of the ocean stretches out behind them, its waves crashing gently against the shore. The beach is lined with quaint houses and bustling activity can be seen in the distance. It's evident that this maritime town thrived on its fishing industry. This print by William Collins offers us a glimpse into an era when children were not shielded from hard work but embraced it as part of their daily lives. These young shrimpers represent resilience and resourcefulness at such tender ages. As we admire this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the sights and sounds that surrounded these brave youngsters - seagulls squawking overhead, salty sea breeze filling their lungs, and perhaps even laughter echoing across the water. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this snapshot from our past for us to appreciate today. It serves as a reminder of our connection to both nature's bounty and our own heritage as communities built around coastal livelihoods like fishing.
