EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "La Peche au cormoran" transports us to 19th century France, where the ancient art of cormorant fishing is beautifully depicted. The print showcases a scene from the renowned French journal "La Science Illustree" published under the guidance of Louis Figuier in 1888. In this digitally cleaned image, we witness a mesmerizing fusion of science and culture as a fisherman commands his fleet of trained cormorants to catch fish. This centuries-old practice originated in China but found its way to Europe, specifically France. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight not only the skillful technique employed by these birds but also their close bond with their human counterparts. As they dive into the water with precision and grace, their slender bodies become one with nature's elements. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of French history - its connection to both European traditions and influences from overseas territories. It serves as a reminder that art can bridge cultures and continents while celebrating scientific achievements. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that allows us to appreciate the beauty of nature intertwined with human ingenuity. Whether you're captivated by ornithology or simply intrigued by historical practices such as line fishing, this print invites you on a journey through time and across borders without leaving your gaze fixed upon it for long.
