EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the rural life of 19th century England. Titled "Lincolnshire Duck Decoy, c1845" it offers both front and end views of a netted tunnel used to decoy wild ducks. The ingenious method involved luring the birds into the mouth of the net, which covered a curving ditch or pipe. A well-trained hunting dog played an essential role in driving the ducks towards the narrow end where they were captured and ultimately killed. The practice of duck decoying was widespread on the Fens and Norfolk Broads during this era, with most of these prized wildfowl destined for London markets. This lithograph not only captures a moment in history but also highlights the intricate relationship between man, animal, and nature. In this vivid image, we see two men engrossed in their task as they navigate through lush countryside surroundings. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of how important this activity was for sustenance and commerce at that time. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details, this print from Oxford Science Archive is truly remarkable. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while shedding light on an age-old tradition that shaped rural communities across Britain.
