The man is sitting on a chair with his body almost completely hidden by the eagle’s spread wings. He looks determinedly into the camera, holding the bird’s throat in his left hand. The bird’s head is also turned towards the camera. Another young man is standing in the right corner of the room, dressed in a dark suit, a shirt and a flat cap.The bird is alive and probably trying to escape from the man’s grip. The man is Vladimir Grubač, a railway official originating from Nikšić, who caught the bird of prey in the woods at Košutnjak Hill on the fringes of Belgrade with the aid of a trap and a field mouse lure. According to his statement, the eagle had a wingspan of two metres, weighed 18 kilogrammes and was supposedly over one hundred years old. The photograph appeared in the newspaper Vreme, in the section titled 'Belgrade Chronicle'.Not specifiedNot specified90130SerbiaYugoslaviaBelgradeKošutnjakRedak lov jednog železničkog činovnika.
