EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Hawking" by Henry Thomas Alken takes us back to the early 19th century, immersing us in the world of British sports and amusement. The artwork showcases a scene of hawking, a popular hunting sport during that era. Set against the picturesque English countryside, we witness an exhilarating moment as a falconer releases his majestic kestrel into the sky. Alken's attention to detail is evident in this exceptional quality reproduction from Methuen's reprint in 1903. The vibrant colors and intricate brushwork bring life to every element of the composition, from the dogs eagerly awaiting their turn to chase down prey, to the group of hunters on horseback who exude excitement and anticipation. This print not only captures a specific moment in history but also reflects aspects of British culture and tradition. It serves as a reminder of how sports like hawking were cherished pastimes for many Britons during this time period. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time, experiencing both the thrill of the hunt and an appreciation for nature's beauty. This piece is truly a treasure from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection that allows us to connect with our heritage while admiring Alken's artistic mastery.
