EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of falconry. Titled "How to bathe a new falcon" this engraving is a 19th-century rendition of an original manuscript illustration found in Livres du Roy Modus at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. The scene depicted showcases an intricate process of bathing a majestic bird of prey. A skilled rider on horseback gently holds the newly acquired falcon while another figure pours water from a bucket over its outstretched wings. The attention to detail in capturing every feather and expression is remarkable, transporting us straight into medieval times. Falconry, an ancient art form associated with hunting and flight, was highly regarded during this period. This print provides valuable insight into the techniques employed by falconers centuries ago as they nurtured their prized birds for successful hunts. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical charm. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud who brought this illustration to life in 1849 and also pays homage to the original creators from centuries earlier. Whether you are captivated by medieval history or have an appreciation for ornithology, this enchanting print offers a window into an age-old tradition that continues to mesmerize even today.
