EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a scene of young men engaging in the ancient art of trout tickling. The image shows the boys delicately rubbing the underbellies of trout with their fingers, causing the fish to enter a trance-like state.
Trout tickling is a skill that requires patience and precision, as it allows fishermen to easily catch these elusive creatures without the need for traditional fishing equipment. Once in a trance, the trout can be gently lifted out of the water and placed on dry land.
The illustration captures not only the technique involved in trout tickling but also the joy and camaraderie shared by these young fishermen as they master this unique method of catching fish. The detailed engravings bring to life this age-old practice, showcasing both the beauty of nature and human ingenuity.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a simpler way of connecting with nature and enjoying outdoor activities. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection to wildlife and how humans have always found creative ways to interact with their environment.
