Description: | A photograph entitled 'Fishing with Cormorants', taken by John Thomson, c. 1871. The photograph shows two fishermen stand in small fishing boats just wide enough for them, their nets and the wicker baskets for holding their catch. Catching fish with trained water birds dates back hundreds of years in China. A string is tied around the bird's neck to prevent it from swallowing any of the fish they catch. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph | Temporal: | c. 1871 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Thomson, John (1837-1921) | Identifier: | 1992-5063/61 | Go to resource |
