Foreign Field Sports: Bird Catching Aquatint by Dubourg & Howitt, 1813
About the Item
This print titled "Bird Catching from Below" showcases a traditional method of bird hunting along a rocky coastline. In the scene, several men in plaid attire are depicted in action. One man is climbing the rock face with a net, while another stands on a ledge, reaching for a bird in flight. Two men in a boat are positioned below, one rowing and the other with arms raised, ready to catch birds or provide support. The background features a flock of birds in the sky and several ships sailing in the distance, indicating a coastal setting. The sea is depicted with waves crashing against the rocks, adding to the dynamic and adventurous atmosphere of the scene. The hand-coloring of the aquatint adds vibrancy and detail to the composition.
Countries Where Bird Catching Occurred Historically and Currently:
Bird catching, particularly of seabirds, has a long history in various coastal regions. Historically, this activity took place in countries such as:
1. **Scotland**: Particularly in the Hebrides and St. Kilda, where bird catching was essential for survival.
2. **Faroe Islands**: An important part of the local economy and tradition.
3. **Iceland**: Where puffin hunting is a long-standing practice.
4. **Norway**: Particularly along the coast and in the Lofoten Islands.
5. **Greenland**: Traditional hunting practices of the Inuit people.
6. **Canada**: Particularly in Newfoundland and Labrador.
While traditional bird catching has significantly declined due to conservation efforts and changes in dietary and economic practices, some forms of regulated bird hunting or harvesting still occur:
1. **Faroe Islands**: Continuation of controlled seabird harvesting.
2. **Iceland**: Puffin hunting is still practiced, though regulated.
3. **Norway**: Some traditional practices continue in remote areas.
4. **Greenland**: Traditional hunting by Inuit communities is still practiced under regulation.
These contemporary practices are often subject to strict regulations to ensure the sustainability of bird populations and the protection of endangered species.
