EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique Indian method of catching geese in shallow water. The scene depicts hunters placing gourds on the heads of these magnificent birds, with a tempting bait of food placed on top. This intriguing illustration is taken from Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Indian hunters as they employ this clever technique to entice and trap their prey. The composition beautifully portrays the tranquil river setting where this hunting practice takes place. Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus) masterfully brings this scene to life through his detailed engravings. The artwork belongs to The Stapleton Collection and offers us a glimpse into 17th-century hunting practices. The juxtaposition between nature's beauty and man's pursuit for sustenance is evident in this piece. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' deep connection with the natural world and their ability to adapt ingenious methods for survival. This historical print not only showcases an ancient hunting technique but also highlights the rich cultural heritage of India.
