EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sniggling for eels" takes us back to the 19th century English countryside. The scene depicts a group of men engaged in an age-old fishing technique along the picturesque River Lee. With their trousers rolled up and sleeves pushed back, these rural folk are fully immersed in their pursuit. The print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the simplicity and beauty of traditional river fishing. The men skillfully navigate the water's edge, armed with long poles equipped with hooks to catch elusive eels. Their focused expressions reveal both determination and patience as they wait for that perfect catch. The tranquil setting adds to the charm of this artwork; lush greenery frames the riverbanks while sunlight dances on its surface. It is easy to imagine oneself transported into this idyllic scene, away from bustling London life. Published on 17 August 1850, this engraving offers a glimpse into a bygone era when such activities were not only essential for sustenance but also provided moments of respite from daily hardships. Preserved within a private collection today, this historic print serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and simpler times. It invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in capturing everyday scenes like sniggling for eels – an art form that has been passed down through generations.
