EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the talented photographer Alfieri, transports us back to a simpler time on the Hampshire river Avon. It captures a scene of eel fishing on a serene summer day, specifically dated as 18 August 1920. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this early 20th-century image. In this snapshot of rural life, we witness the traditional practice of eel fishing that was once prevalent along the riverbanks. The local fishermen are depicted in their timeless fashion, showcasing attire typical for that era. Their expertise and dedication to their craft are evident as they skillfully handle their equipment. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of nature but also sheds light on an important industry during that period - agriculture and food production. Eels were highly sought after for their culinary value, making them a significant part of regional cuisine. As we delve into this Europeana photography gem from nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how different industries have shaped our society over time. This remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind Alfieri's lens and the historical significance captured within its frame.
