EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Birdcatchers Using Traps Baited with Rats to Capture Hawks, plate 64" takes us back in time to witness a unique hunting technique from the 17th century. The illustration, engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, showcases the expertise of birdcatchers as they employ cunning traps baited with rats to capture majestic hawks. The image reveals a scene filled with anticipation and skill. A group of hunters can be seen strategically placing their traps while holding onto falcons perched on their gloved hands. The cages are meticulously set up, ready to ensnare any unsuspecting hawk that falls for the tempting rat bait. Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus), the artist behind this masterpiece, brings every detail to life through his meticulous strokes. From the intricate design of the traps to the determined expressions on the hunters' faces, each element adds depth and realism to this historical moment. This engraving not only highlights an ancient hunting practice but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in capturing birds of prey for various purposes. It is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era when man's relationship with nature was intertwined with both admiration and exploitation. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this artwork captures our imagination and invites us into an intriguing world where humans sought mastery over nature's most magnificent creatures – all preserved beautifully through Bridgeman Images' fine art reproduction techniques.
