EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Puffin-Catching on the West Coast of Ireland" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a unique and daring practice. The image depicts a colony of puffins, also known as sea parrots, residing on the rugged cliffs of the west coast of Ireland. In this perilous scene, we witness a group of skilled individuals engaged in an extraordinary pursuit. With feathered hats adorning their heads, they carefully navigate the treacherous terrain to catch these elusive birds. One can't help but admire their bravery as they make hazardous leaps from one rocky ledge to another. The focal point captures a moment where one brave soul has successfully landed on a precarious seat carved into the cliffside. Clutching onto his prize - a captured puffin - he demonstrates both skill and agility in executing this novel way of catching these magnificent creatures. As our eyes wander through the composition, we notice other figures carrying similar trophies while others peer curiously into holes within the rocks where more puffins may be hiding. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an era when humans interacted with nature in unexpected ways. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece from its private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and marvel at this remarkable slice of Irish coastal life from long ago.
