EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "China: Fishing with cormorants" takes us back in time to early 20th century China, offering a glimpse into the country's rich history and unique fishing traditions. The vibrant colour lithograph by Norman Hardy showcases the age-old practice of using cormorants as fishing companions. In this scene, we witness Chinese fishermen skillfully navigating their boats through calm waters while accompanied by a fleet of trained cormorant birds. These remarkable creatures dive beneath the surface, expertly catching fish in their beaks before returning them to their human counterparts. The image not only captures the beauty of this ancient technique but also highlights the harmonious relationship between man and nature. It serves as a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Chinese fishermen who have honed this method over generations. As we delve deeper into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that fishing was not just an occupation but an integral part of daily life for many Chinese people during this era. The presence of various fishing implements scattered across the boat emphasizes its significance within the local economy and culture. Through this exquisite print, we are transported to a different world - one where tradition intertwines with nature's bounty. It is a reminder that even amidst rapid modernization, echoes of ancient practices can still be found if we take a closer look at our shared heritage.
