EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a time when falconry was a popular sport in England. The image, titled "Falconry in England" showcases the artistry and skill involved in this ancient practice. In the foreground, we see a skilled falconer with his majestic falcons perched on his gloved hand. Their sharp eyes are fixed on their prey, ready to take flight at any moment. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush English countryside, complete with rolling hills and towering trees. The artist has captured the essence of game hawking, as well as heron hawking - two prominent forms of falconry during that era. This print not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also provides insight into the historical significance of this noble sport. With its intricate details and impeccable composition, this engraving transports us back to a bygone era where man and bird worked together harmoniously for both pleasure and practicality. It reminds us of our connection with nature and how humans have long admired these magnificent creatures for their grace and power. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but be captivated by the beauty and elegance that Falconry in England represents – an enduring testament to our fascination with birds of prey throughout history.
