1901 Bird Boat Canal China Chinese Cormorant Fisherman Fishing Fishing Pole Grand Canal Shore Water Soochow Stereograph Trained

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turn of the century in China, specifically to the Grand Canal of Soo-chow. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness a group of Chinese men engaging in an age-old fishing tradition with their trained cormorants. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the canal's tranquil waters. As our eyes explore the image, we see a small boat gently gliding through the calm canal while these skilled fishermen expertly handle their fishing poles. Perched on their shoulders are several majestic cormorants, patiently waiting for their moment to dive into the water and catch fish. It is fascinating to observe how seamlessly man and bird work together as they navigate this ancient art form. The photograph captures not only a unique method of fishing but also offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century China. The men's attire reflects traditional Chinese clothing, adding an authentic touch to this historical moment frozen in time. Through this stereograph, we are transported back over a century ago when life was simpler yet filled with rich cultural practices such as this one. This remarkable visual artifact from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both nature's beauty and humanity's ingenuity in harmony with each other.
