Abstract

Colour lithographs that appear as a dissected jigsaw puzzle from a series. Images show "their utility to man in their services during life, and uses after death". Large central image shows a pile of fish next to nets, a fishing rod and a wicker basket. The surrounding smaller vignettes are clockwise from top right: "Herring Curing" ; "Fish Market" ; "Food & Ornament" ; "Anchovy Fishing" ; "Angling" ; "Indians Fishing" ; "Preparing Isinglass" ; Cod Curing" ; Mackerel Fishing".
