Keeping Birds in Cages from the early 1500 to the early 1900s
1510 possibly Cornelis Massijs (c1511–c 1557) The Bellows Repairer
Recently I got an email from the director of The Golden Ball Tavern Museum which has stood on the "great country road" in Weston, Massachusetts, since 1768. It operated as an inn between 1770 & 1793, and has been reopened as an historic site since the late 1900s. The Director asked if I knew of birds in cages in American taverns of the 1700s. The question sort of intrigued me, because I have a friend who owns a 1700s American tavern nearby. I thought it might be fun to survey paintings of birds in cages. As you will see, several of these birds are, indeed, in taverns. I am exhausted; however, who knew artists painted so many birds in cages across the centuries.
