EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Brook Hawking" takes us back to the 17th century when outdoor pursuits were cherished by gentlemen. Published in Richard Blome's renowned work, The Gentlemans Recreation, this engraving beautifully captures a scene of leisure and sport. In this illustration, we witness a group of distinguished gentlemen engaging in the age-old tradition of hawking. With their falcons perched on gloved hands and eyes fixed on the sky, they eagerly await their birds' graceful flight towards prey. The brook flowing gently in the background adds a serene touch to this picturesque setting. Blome's publication was not just an encyclopedia but also a guide for men seeking enjoyment through various outdoor activities. It offered insights into hunting techniques and celebrated the artistry involved in capturing birds as prey. This print serves as a testament to both restoration literature and the pursuit of leisure during that era. As we delve into this historical artwork, it transports us to a time where nature intertwined with human recreation. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found solace and excitement in connecting with wildlife and indulging in sportsmanship. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, this print invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also our ancestors' passion for adventure and camaraderie amidst these gentle pursuits.
