EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate XLVIII from 'The Ornithology of Francis Willughby,' published in 1678, provides a fascinating glimpse into the early practices of bird hunting and trapping during the late 17th century. This intricately detailed print, illustrated by the skilled hand of an anonymous artist, showcases various methods used by hunters to capture birds for sport and sustenance. At the center of the image, we see a group of hunters engaged in falconry, an ancient hunting technique that involves training birds of prey to catch wild game for their human masters. The nobleman in the foreground, dressed in elegant attire, holds a falcon perched on his gloved hand, ready for release. His companions, also dressed in fine clothing, prepare to launch their own birds into the sky. Surrounding the falconers, we find a variety of traps designed to ensnare unsuspecting birds. In the upper left corner, a series of bird traps are arranged in a neat row, including net traps, pitfall traps, and snares. These traps were often set in wooded areas or near water sources, where birds were known to frequent. In the lower right corner, a hunter is shown using a gun to shoot a bird from the sky. Firearms were becoming increasingly popular as a means of hunting during this period, and their use in bird hunting was no exception. The inclusion of this scene in the plate highlights the diversity of hunting methods employed by hunters during the late 17th century. Overall, this plate offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the world of early zoology and ornithology, as well as the hunting practices of the time. The meticulous illustrations and detailed descriptions in 'The Ornithology of Francis Willughby' continue to be valued by scholars and enthusiasts of natural history today.
