EDITORS COMMENTS
Flowers of the Sea (colour litho) captures a tender moment between a young girl and her mother, set against the backdrop of England's historical fishing industry. The print, created by James John Hill in 1867, showcases the sentimental beauty found in everyday life. In this heartwarming scene, the girl gazes out at the horizon with wide eyes filled with wonder and curiosity. Her sister stands beside her, holding a net used for catching fish and lobsters. Three generations are represented here - the young girls learning from their experienced mother about an industry that has sustained their family for years. The flowers they hold symbolize not only nature's beauty but also hope and health. It is as if these delicate blooms represent the wholesome salt-of-the-earth values that have been passed down through generations involved in this noble trade. Hill's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; every strand of hair on each child's head can be seen, while intricate patterns adorn their dresses. This colour lithograph evokes sentimentality and nostalgia for a simpler time when children could explore their surroundings freely. This image reminds us of our connection to both land and sea – how industries like fishing shape our lives and provide sustenance for communities throughout history.
