EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Indians diving for pearls, plate 93 from Venationes Ferarum, Avium" takes us back in time to witness a unique method of pearl hunting. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam, this hand-coloured engraving showcases the extraordinary skills and bravery of Indian divers. The image depicts a scene filled with anticipation and adventure. A group of fishermen can be seen rowing their boats towards the seashore where they will embark on their daring quest for precious pearls. The divers are preparing themselves for the dive, binding their noses and filling their ears with wax to protect them from the underwater pressure. As the boat approaches its destination, tension fills the air. With ropes tied around their waists, one after another, these fearless divers plunge into the depths below. Their determination is evident as they search tirelessly amongst vibrant coral reefs for hidden treasures. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into an ancient technique used by indigenous communities to gather mollusks and harvest pearls. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring connection with nature and our relentless pursuit of beauty. With its intricate details and historical significance, this engraving transports us to a distant era when life revolved around exploration and discovery. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity while celebrating the resilience and resourcefulness of those who came before us.
