"Fowling: A Timeless Pursuit of Birds and Adventure" From ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, the art has captivated hunters for centuries. The practice of capturing birds in various ways has been depicted in numerous historical artifacts, showcasing the ingenuity and skill required to succeed in this age-old pursuit. Dating back to ca. 1400 BC during the 18th Dynasty, a captivating plate showcases hunters employing different techniques to trap birds amidst marshes. This scene is further immortalized in a wall painting from the tomb of Nebamun in Thebes, Egypt around c1350 BC, offering us a glimpse into the rich history of fowling. One cannot help but be enthralled by an exquisite colour lithograph depicting wild fowling through flighting - a thrilling sight as skilled hunters engage with their feathered prey. Moving forward through time, we encounter remarkable firearms that revolutionized fowling. A Flintlock Fowling Gun crafted by Karl Starek circa 1770 stands as a testament to German craftsmanship while a Wheellock Gun from Teschen dating back to 1650 remains shrouded in mystery regarding its creator. The allure continues with fragments of stelae portraying scenes amidst marshes during Egypt's First Intermediate Period at Sakkara. These remnants transport us back thousands of years and offer glimpses into ancient hunting practices that have stood the test of time. As we approach more recent times, French gunsmith Berthon-Perrin's Percussion Fowling Piece from 1810/20 demonstrates how technological advancements shaped this traditional pastime. Meanwhile, Augustin Hortiz's Flintlock Fowling Gun with Miquelet Lock hailing from Madrid around 1750 serves as another example of fine craftsmanship cherished by avid birders.
