EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Cormorant used for fishing in Asia, possibly a great cormorant or Japanese cormorant. The image, handcoloured and engraved by John Latham in 1824, is taken from his renowned work A General History of Birds. Intriguingly, the Cormorant depicted here is not just any ordinary bird but an incredible Chinese diver known as Colymbus sinensis. This species has mastered the art of underwater hunting and is often employed by fishermen to assist them in their endeavors. The scene captured in this print transports us to the vibrant Asian waters where this remarkable partnership between man and bird unfolds. With its sleek black feathers glistening under the sunlight, the Cormorant stands poised on a boat's edge while its human companion skillfully maneuvers through the water. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of nature's extraordinary ability to inspire collaboration between different species. It serves as a testament to mankind's ingenuity and our harmonious relationship with wildlife throughout history. Latham's exquisite craftsmanship breathes life into every detail of this engraving - from each feather meticulously etched onto copperplate to the delicate hues that bring vibrancy to both bird and surroundings. This artwork not only captures a moment but also invites us into an era when scientific exploration merged seamlessly with artistic expression. Through this stunning visual representation, we can appreciate both the beauty of these magnificent creatures and humanity's timeless connection with nature.
