EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Hawking" transports us back to a time when ancient customs and sports were an integral part of English culture. The illustration, created by an anonymous English artist, showcases the art of falconry - a popular sport during that era. In this scene, we witness a magnificent bird of prey perched on the gloved hand of a skilled falconer. The intensity in its eyes suggests it is ready for flight, poised to hunt alongside its human companion. The detailed depiction captures not only the beauty and power of the falcon but also highlights the intricate relationship between man and nature. Surrounded by lush countryside scenery, we can envision ourselves in rural England as horses graze peacefully nearby. This image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when hunting was considered both customary and thrilling entertainment for British society. The engraving's monochromatic palette adds to its timeless appeal while emphasizing every delicate line etched by the talented engraver's hand. It serves as a reminder of our connection with wildlife and how humans have long engaged with animals in various ways throughout history. "Hawking" is more than just an exquisite piece of artwork; it offers us insight into centuries-old traditions that shaped British heritage. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded to appreciate both our natural surroundings and our rich cultural past.
