Vissersvrouwen sjouwen (vermoedelijk) bakken met vangst op het strand bij Arcachon 1897

"Vissersvrouwen sjouwen (vermoedelijk) bakken met vangst op het strand bij Arcachon" is a photograph by Delizy, taken in 1897. This snapshot captures a moment in time, where women in Arcachon, France, are seen carrying baskets presumably filled with their catch from the sea. The photograph, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life of fisherwomen in late 19th-century France, showcasing their labor and the bounty of the sea. The image’s monochrome palette and focus on the figures and their work, provide a visual record of a bygone era.
