EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene shores of Balestrand on Sognefjord, Norway, around 1905. In this picturesque scene, a lone fisherman is meticulously arranging his salmon nets against the backdrop of Balholm in the distance. The image captures the essence of local industry and traditional fishing practices that have been passed down through generations. Perched high on a ladder at the water's edge, this brave fisherman exemplifies both courage and skill as he navigates the treacherous fjord. Fishing in these deep waters was undoubtedly a risky business, but it was also an integral part of life for many Norwegians. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this century-old photograph. It serves as a metaphor for how certain aspects of life remain unchanged throughout history, even as time marches forward. As we gaze upon this vintage stereoscopic card from "The Underwood Travel Library - Norway" we are transported back to an era when men like this fisherman were essential pillars of their communities. This image not only showcases the beauty of Norway's natural landscapes but also pays homage to its hardworking people who relied on their skills and resourcefulness to make a living. With every detail captured by unknown photographers from Underwood & Underwood London, this print stands as a testament to our shared human heritage and reminds us that some traditions are worth preserving for future generations.
