For Men must Work and Women must Weep, from the picture by W. H. Weatherhead, in the exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, 1883. Engraving of a painting. '"For men must work, and women must weep, Though storms be sudden, and waters deep, And the harbour bar be moaning". Charles Kingsley's mournful seaside song of "The Fishers" has furnished the subject of this interesting and expressive picture...the International Fisheries Exhibition at Kensington has occasioned a renewal of important discussions relating to the welfare and safety of that part of the population of the British Coasts...Our own pages...have been frequently occupied with Sketches illustrative of the various branches of this national industry...The readers who may have obtained from these a certain degree of knowledge of the manner in which fishermen...practise their arduous and too often perilous calling, will be prepared to sympathise with the distressing anxiety of the women of their families, on a stormy night when the husbands and fathers are out in their boats at sea, and the break of day shows no sign of abatement in the fury of the elements, so that they lose all hope of the return of the fishing-fleet without fatal misadventures'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
