Catching geese with a fishing rod, 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a peculiar moment frozen in time. This vintage print showcases an unusual method employed by resourceful individuals to capture their prey. The French caption, "Faute De Mieux, Ils Pechent Des Oies" (For lack of anything better, they fish for geese), adds an intriguing layer of irony and humor to the scene. Set against the backdrop of the serene countryside and a meandering river, a lone man stands poised with his fishing rod extended towards a flock of unsuspecting geese. His determined expression suggests that this unconventional technique requires skill and patience. The vibrant colors bring life to the image, enhancing its visual impact. While this photograph offers an interesting glimpse into rural life during the 1920s in France, it also raises questions about animal cruelty and poaching practices. The concept of using such methods on innocent birds may evoke mixed emotions among viewers today. The origin and creator remain unknown but their work has found its place on the back cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre" a popular French newspaper at that time. Through this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how newspapers served as windows into people's lives and provided entertainment through unique visuals like these. This print is not only a testament to human ingenuity but also invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and animals throughout different periods in history.
