EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Hawking Glove" from the renowned Tradescant Collection. Crafted with meticulous detail, this red-brown roeskin glove features a striking panel of grey-white kid or dogskin, adding an elegant contrast to its overall design. Measuring 13x28.5 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. Believed to be associated with Henry VIII (1491-1547), this remarkable artifact was likely presented to the elder Tradescant by royal warrant in 1635. The style and embroidery of this glove are consistent with those seen during the early sixteenth century, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The image captures not only the beauty but also hints at its purpose - falconry and hunting. With references to hunt, gauntlet, hawk, and falconry embedded within its metadata tags (AMQ), one can imagine how this glove played an essential role in these ancient practices. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every intricate detail of this historical masterpiece through their lens. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance.
