"Newfoundland Fishermen" is an illustration by Henri Meyer that was featured in the 19th March 1892 edition of "Le Petit Journal," a prominent French newspaper of the time. The image captures the perilous and arduous life of fishermen in Newfoundland, reflecting the late 19th-century fascination with the heroism and struggle of everyday workers in extreme conditions. Henri Meyer, a noted French illustrator, was known for his detailed and dynamic works, often depicting current events and popular stories of the day.

The illustration is a testament to the historical importance of the Newfoundland fishing industry, which was a vital economic activity during the 19th century, attracting European fishermen to the rich fishing grounds off the Canadian coast. Meyer's work serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a historical document, providing insight into the working conditions, attire, and seafaring technology of the era.

The image is characterized by its attention to detail and the dramatic portrayal of the fishermen's struggle against the elements, a common theme in Meyer's oeuvre. The use of black and white in the illustration emphasizes the stark reality of the fishermen's lives, while the composition and the use of light and shadow create a sense of immediacy and tension.

As an important piece of journalistic illustration, "Newfoundland Fishermen" from "Le Petit Journal" is an example of how art and reporting intersected in the print media of the 19th century, offering readers both visual excitement and informative content.
