The Fishing Boat Retuning Home For Christmas 1918, Bing & Grondahl Christmas Plate

1918 Bing & Grondahl Christmas plate, designed by Acton Friis, it titled The Fishing boat retuning Home for Christmas. Bing & Grondahl’s Christmas plate from 1918 depicts a typical Danish scenery from 1918, a fishing boat returning home for Christmas. In the background we see the city lights and in the foreground a gaff-rigged Norhsea cutter. In 1918 Denmark had a large fishing fleet, and almost every big town had its own fleet. Times have changed, and now, because of bigger boats,quota and smaller stocks of fish many boats have been scrapped.
