EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fishing with Cormorants" takes us back to the 19th century when this unique fishing technique was practiced. The image showcases a scene of tranquility as fishermen skillfully navigate their boats through calm waters, accompanied by their loyal cormorant companions. The illustration is an extract from Wonderland or Curiosities of Nature and Art by Wood Smith, published in 1897. It beautifully captures the essence of this traditional method that dates back centuries. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the graceful movements of the cormorants diving into the water to catch fish, to the intricate fishing implements used by these skilled anglers. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time; we can almost feel the gentle breeze on our faces and hear the soothing sounds of nature surrounding us. It serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and our ability to form harmonious partnerships with other species. This enchanting engraving is a testament to both artistic talent and cultural history. Its monochromatic palette adds an air of nostalgia while emphasizing the timeless beauty found within its subject matter. A true treasure for any art enthusiast or lover of history alike, it invites us to explore a forgotten world where man and bird worked together in perfect harmony for their mutual benefit – a sight rarely seen today but forever etched in our collective memory thanks to images like this one captured by Bridgeman Images'
