This print captures an idyllic scene from the past, showcasing the remarkable bond between nature and humanity. In this historical image, pelicans take center stage as they skillfully catch fish and deliver them to a group of Indians waiting on the shore. The birds' graceful movements are frozen in time, reminding us of their vital role in sustaining life along these ancient waters. Originally engraved by Karel van Mallery in the 17th century after a work by Jan van der Straet, this picture is part of the renowned Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium series published around 1595. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are transported back to a period where such scenes were not only ordinary but also essential for survival. The composition exudes tranquility and harmony as it showcases nature's abundance being shared with grateful recipients. It serves as a poignant reminder that giving has always been deeply ingrained within our collective history. Preserved within archives and now brought to life through Ken Welsh's lens, this archival gem invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a profound narrative about coexistence between humans and animals—a timeless tale that resonates even today. As we admire this mesmerizing print, let us reflect on how our relationship with nature has evolved over centuries while cherishing moments like these that remind us of our interconnectedness with all living beings.
