EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, showcasing a German falconer in all his glory. Created by Jost Amman, this engraving is actually a 19th-century rendition of an original illustration found in Hartmann Schopper's manuscript, De Omnibus Illiberalibus Siue Mechanicis Artibus. The artwork was featured in the book Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance, authored by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud. In this scene from centuries past, we witness the skilled falconer standing tall with his loyal hunting dog by his side. Dressed in traditional attire befitting his occupation, he exudes a sense of pride and expertise. The falcon perched on his gloved hand symbolizes both power and grace as it awaits its master's command. Falconry was not just a hobby but also an important profession during that era. This image transports us to Germany where this ancient art form thrived. It offers us a glimpse into the country's rich history and cultural heritage. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the timelessness of this age-old practice. As we admire this remarkable print created by Jost Amman underlining our fascination with historical traditions like falconry; let it serve as a reminder of how far we have come yet how much we still appreciate our roots.
