EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a falconer from the 19th century, captured in all his glory. The image is an engraving based on a sculpture created by John E. Carew, which was exhibited at Westminster Hall in London. The falconer stands tall and proud, embodying the essence of his profession. Intriguingly, the man appears completely naked, symbolizing vulnerability and authenticity in his occupation. His nude form adds an element of rawness to the artwork, emphasizing the intimate connection between man and bird. The attention to detail is remarkable; every feather on the majestic falcon perched upon his arm is meticulously etched into this stunning print. The contrast between light and shadow enhances its dramatic effect. This piece transports us back to Victorian Britain when such exhibitions were highly anticipated events for art enthusiasts and newspaper readers alike. Published in "Illustrated London News" during that era, it captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the societal values of that period. As we gaze upon this enigmatic photograph today, we are reminded of the rich history behind it - both artistically and culturally. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity while celebrating our profound connection with nature's magnificent creatures.
