EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Canarien Bogeln, Gründliche Anweisung alle Arten Vogel zu fangen, einzustellen, abzurichten, zahm zu machen," dates back to 1768. The image, which translates to "Detailed Instructions for Catching, Taming, and Training All Kinds of Birds, Including Larks," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the art of bird capturing during the 18th century. The illustration depicts a man skillfully capturing a lark, using a long, curved rod with a net attached to its end. The bird, seemingly unaware of the impending capture, is perched on a branch, absorbed in its surroundings. The man's posture and expression suggest a sense of patience and expertise, as he waits for the perfect moment to ensnare his prey. The image also includes various tools and techniques used in bird capturing during that era. A basket filled with birds sits nearby, while other implements such as a bird snare and a lure are visible in the background. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration underscores the importance of bird capturing during this time, both as a means of obtaining food and as a form of recreation for the aristocracy. This illustration provides a unique window into the past, offering insights into the methods and techniques used for bird capturing during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of birding, which continues to captivate and inspire people to this day.
