EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ethel Davies transports us back to the quaint coastal town of Hastings in 2009. The image showcases the timeless charm of traditional small fishing boats, gracefully resting on the pebble beach. Against a backdrop of a clear blue sky and the vast Channel, these vibrant vessels proudly display their colorful flags, symbolizing a rich maritime history. The scene is alive with elements that epitomize the local industry - nets and crab/lobster pots meticulously arranged on board each boat. These tools of the trade serve as a reminder of Hastings' deep-rooted connection to fishing and its reliance on the bountiful sea for sustenance. Davies skillfully captures both an exterior view of this picturesque seaside setting and an intimate glimpse into an age-old way of life. Her horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail, from the weathered texture of pebbles beneath our feet to the intricate patterns woven into each net. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it's impossible not to reflect upon how much has changed since then. Yet, amidst all progress and modernization, some traditions endure. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there are still pockets where tradition thrives alongside innovation. Ethel Davies' remarkable talent immortalizes this momentary pause in bustling industry—a testament to her ability to capture beauty within simplicity while honoring heritage through her lens.
