Limitierte Auflage Giclee Print 16"x12" *Nur Druck* (Rahmen nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten - nur zu Darstellungszwecken abgebildet) Dies ist ein Limitierter Giclee-Druck eines meiner Gemälde in meiner 'Hering Lassies' Serie. Die Kulisse für diese Gemälde ist Newhaven Harbour in Edinburgh. Die Idee war, den Geist und die Kameradschaft der Heringslassies wieder herzustellen und einzufangen. Tausende Mädchen aus den schottischen Highlands und Inseln arbeiteten in der Heringsindustrie. Sie arbeiteten immer in einer eng gestrickten Dreier-Crew. Heringsdrinnen waren eine wertvolle saisonale Arbeitsquelle für die Mädchen und Frauen. Obwohl die Arbeit des Heringsrinnens lange Stunden sehr harter und schmutziger Arbeit für einen niedrigen Lohn erforderte, wurde die Arbeit geschätzt und aufgrund der Begleitung und der Teamarbeit freuten sich die fröhlichen Mädchen auf die Öffnung jeder Angelsaison. Viele bekamen ihre erste Jobmöglichkeit beim Heringsrinnen, nachdem sie mit 14 Jahren die Schule verlassen hatten, was das Schulabgangsalter war. Die Edition ist auf 125 Drucke limitiert und jeder Druck ist vom Künstler signiert und nummeriert. Die Drucke werden auf schwerem (310gsm) Museumsqualität, Archivpapier im hochwertigsten Giclee-Druckverfahren hergestellt. Die bei diesem Verfahren verwendeten Tinten sind archival, was bedeutet, dass der Druck jahrzehntelang ohne Spuren des Verblassens hält. Die Größe ist 16" x 12" mit einem 20mm Rand zum Einrahmen. Sonderanfertigungen sind auf Anfrage möglich. Erfahre mehr über diesen Artikel

We have a few old postcards in the Knitting & Crochet Guild collection that show people knitting, including these two of Scottish herring lassies. Hundreds of these women left their homes every year for the fishing ports on the east coast, where large catches of herring were landed. Their job was to gut, salt and pack them. At the end of the herring season they went home with their earnings which probably kept them and their families until the next year. The first postcard here, "Scottish Lassies' Recreation" was postmarked Great Yarmouth in 1907, and I guess that the scene it depicts was also in Great Yarmouth. The town was already a seaside resort and visitors were evidently interested in seeing the herring lassies, and buying postcards of them. There are many other photos of herring lassies that show them knitting when they weren't working - it seems to have been their usual leisure activity. I would love to know what they are knitting - the one on the left has what looks something like a Balaclava helmet in front of her apron, and the women next to her something that looks like a large sock (a sea-boot stocking?). Scottish Lassies' Recreation The other card is undated (and was never sent), but is probably about the same date. The women are both wearing knitted shawls around their heads. The paler shawl seems to have a very open texture, and there are large holes knitted into the border. (Click on the images to enlarge them.) Herring Lasses off Duty Herring fishing in the North Sea was disrupted by the First World War, and the herring lassies and their families lost a vital income. This report from February 1915 describes the work of the herring lassies up to the start of the war, and a scheme to pay the unemployed women to knit comforts for soldiers and sailors. So knitting, which had been a leisure activity, became their main source of income. (PS I have found a reference in the Dundee Evening Post, in October 1902, to the opening of a rest house in Yarmouth: "This season excellent provision has been made for the fisher girls, who last year numbered no fewer than 3000, by the erection right next to the gutting-grounds of a handsome bungalow residence, by the generosity of Miss Davidson, of the Church of Scotland, where the girls may go in the intervals between their work. They will be also able to obtain hot meals, to avoid the necessity in times of pressure of returning to their lodgings in the town, and other arrangements are made for their comfort and convenience, such as attending to cut fingers, &c., in what has been named the Rest House for Scottish Fisher Folk". This appears to be the building that is in the background of the first postcard.)
Over the past three years people have been bringing in old photographs of Eyemouth and asking me to possibly produce a calender or a book of old photographs. The problem is it is such a minefield s…
