A young girl lights a pipe for an old fisherman seated in a boat, a small domestic gesture carried out on the water. The photograph, credited to Fritz W. Guerin and dated around 1902, reflects a popular turn-of-the-century taste for sentimental scenes that softened the hard routines of working life at sea. The record comes from an old caption card and has not been verified, so the exact location and circumstances are unknown. The card's subject tags, tobacco and smoking and fishing, suggest the pipe is the picture's central detail.
