EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A falconer, 1611" takes us back to the enchanting world of Tudor England. The image showcases a skilled falconer in his traditional attire, capturing the essence of this ancient sport. With his gauntlet-clad wrist held high, we see a majestic bird perched upon it, still hooded and awaiting its moment to take flight. The woodcut print is derived from George Turbevile's renowned book on falconry called "The Book of Faulconrie". This masterpiece provides valuable insights into the art of hawking during the seventeenth century. It serves as a testament to the enduring bond between man and nature that has existed for centuries. Intriguingly monochrome, this image transports us to an era where hunting was not only a sport but also an essential skill for survival. The presence of a loyal dog by the falconer's side further emphasizes their partnership in pursuing game across the picturesque English countryside. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the dedication and expertise required to master such an intricate pursuit. The attention to detail captured by Turbevile allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating this woodcut print and the rich history it represents. Through this artwork, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past - whispers of men clad in noble fashion engaging with nature's finest creatures as they partake in one of England's most cherished traditions:
