EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hawking at Hendon" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene of falconry and sporting elegance. Created by Charles Robinson in 1871, this print captures the essence of London's vibrant bird-hunting culture during that era. The image transports us to Hendon, where a group of skilled falconers are seen preparing for an exhilarating hawking session. The birds of prey, majestic hawks with sharp eyes and powerful wingspans, stand perched on their handlers' gloved arms. Their focused gaze hints at the thrilling chase about to unfold. As we observe this snapshot from history, we can almost feel the anticipation in the air as these noble creatures prepare for flight. The start line is set against a picturesque backdrop of London's countryside, adding depth and beauty to the composition. Through this artwork, Robinson not only showcases his exceptional talent as an engraver but also offers us a glimpse into a forgotten pastime that was once cherished by aristocrats and sports enthusiasts alike. It serves as a reminder of how our relationship with nature has evolved over time while highlighting the timeless allure of falconry. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such engravings and the historical significance they hold. It invites viewers to step into another world where man and bird worked together harmoniously in pursuit of adventure and sport.
