EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "La fauconnerie" transports us to the picturesque countryside of rural France. The scene depicts a traditional falconry hunt, an ancient sport that dates back centuries. In this idyllic setting, surrounded by lush green pastures and a serene rural landscape, we witness the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The image showcases a group of horsemen elegantly dressed in hunting attire, accompanied by their magnificent steeds. Among them are racehorses, ponies, and even a majestic shire horse. These graceful animals play an integral role in this bloodsport as they assist their human counterparts in capturing prey. At the center of attention is a stunning falcon perched on its handler's gloved hand. This bird of prey symbolizes power and agility as it prepares for flight to pursue its target with precision and speed. Other birds can be seen soaring through the sky or resting on nearby branches. This enchanting print not only captures the beauty of wildlife but also provides insight into rural life during this era. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our timeless connection to animals. Through Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical artwork that offers glimpses into both French culture and European traditions from long ago.
