This print captures a fascinating scene from 19th century China - fishing by cormorants. Taken by an European photographer, this image showcases the unique relationship between humans and birds in the art of fishing. In this historical snapshot, we witness Chinese fishermen skillfully maneuvering their boats through tranquil waters as they employ cormorants to aid them in their catch. The sight of these graceful birds diving into the depths of the water evokes a sense of awe and admiration for their natural instincts. The photograph not only provides a glimpse into China's rich history but also highlights the importance of transportation during that era. The boats used for fishing serve as a reminder of how vital waterways were for both trade and travel. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that it is more than just a depiction of daily life; it is an illustration from Das Buch Der Fernen Welt (Paul Franke, 1931). This gravure printed artwork adds another layer to its significance, showcasing how art can capture moments in time across different mediums. Overall, this print offers viewers an intriguing window into China's past - where tradition meets innovation on calm waters teeming with history and culture.
