China 1926 Cavanders Cigarette Card Ancient Chinese Cormorant Birds Fishing Fish

Vintage Old Small Cigarette Card. 3.5cm x 6.7cm. 1926. Cavanders Ltd London Established 1775. China. Ancient Chinese. No. 17. Ethnic Life. Cormorant Bird. Fishing Net. In some parts of China cormorants birds are used for fishing. The fisherman usually stands upon a raft made of bamboos and propelled by a paddle. He has 3 or 4 tame cormorants, which dive and catch fish, but are prevented from swallowing them by a string round the neck. When a bird rises to the surface with a fish, the fisherman catches both bird and fish in a net and takes the fish.
