EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Natives Fishing for Giant Clams on the Indus" takes us back in time to witness a scene of traditional fishing practices. The plate, number 102 from Venationes Ferarum (Of Hunting: Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), showcases an engraved illustration by Jan Collaert and was published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam. In this artwork, we see a group of native fishermen skillfully navigating their rowing boats along the Indus River. With great precision and expertise, they cast their nets into the water to catch giant clams. The image captures the essence of river life in the 17th century as these men gather together to hunt for fish and clams. The engraving beautifully depicts the process of collecting pearls from these magnificent creatures. We can observe one fisherman expressing liquid from a clam while another soaks it up with sponges nearby. This delicate task requires patience and dexterity as they carefully handle each pearl-bearing clam. The composition not only highlights the fishermen's activities but also showcases their unique mode of transportation - tugboats that aid them in maneuvering through the river currents. It is evident that fishing was not merely a means of sustenance but also an art form passed down through generations. Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus) masterfully captured this moment in history with his intricate engravings, bringing to life scenes that would otherwise be lost to time.
