EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, dated 1768, depicts a portable bird-hide, an essential tool for avid bird enthusiasts during the 18th century. The image, taken from "Canarien Bogeln, Gründliche Anweisung alle Arten Vogel zu fangen, einzustellen, abzurichten, zahm zu machen" (Comprehensive Instruction on Catching, Taming, and Training All Kinds of Birds), reveals the intricacies of bird hunting during this era. The portable bird-hide, a ingenious invention, allowed birdwatchers and hunters to conceal themselves from their avian subjects, ensuring a closer and more intimate encounter. The hide, made of woven branches and leaves, is designed to blend seamlessly into the natural environment, enabling the observer to approach birds undetected. The illustration showcases various birds, including a partridge, a pheasant, and a quail, all in their natural habitats. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the vivid colors and textures of the birds and their surroundings. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the passion and dedication of early ornithologists and their pursuit of avian knowledge. The portable bird-hide served as a crucial component in the comprehensive instruction manual, providing valuable insights into the techniques and methods used for catching, taming, and training various bird species during the 18th century. This illustration remains an enduring testament to the rich history of birdwatching and ornithology.
