EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Semi-Naked Savages of India Using Pelicans to Catch Fish, plate 91" takes us back in time to witness a unique hunting technique employed by indigenous people. The illustration, engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, showcases the remarkable talent of Joannes Stradanus (Jan van der Straet). In this scene from the 17th century, we find ourselves on the riverbank where a group of Indian fishermen are engaged in their daily hunt for fish. These semi-naked savages skillfully utilize pelicans as their partners in catching fish. With leaf skirts adorning their lower bodies and bows slung over their shoulders, these hunters stand tall with staffs in hand. The image captures the harmonious relationship between man and bird as they work together to secure sustenance from the flowing waters. The fishermen deftly maneuver long sticks into the river while relying on their avian companions to dive gracefully into the water and retrieve fish with precision. This artwork not only highlights an ancient fishing method but also celebrates the rich wildlife found within India's rivers. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and how different cultures have adapted ingenious techniques throughout history. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, it sparks curiosity about humanity's diverse practices and traditions that have shaped our world today.
