EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, specifically to a scene depicting the art of training young hawks. Originally an illustration found in Livres du Roy Modus, a manuscript held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this 19th-century version beautifully captures the essence of medieval falconry. In this image, we witness a male figure on horseback surrounded by his hunting dogs. With focused determination, he imparts his knowledge and expertise to these majestic birds of prey. The engraving showcases the intricate bond between man and animal as they embark on their journey towards flight mastery. The setting exudes an air of medieval charm; men dressed in traditional attire are mounted on magnificent horses while engaging in this ancient practice. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, transporting us further into history. This print serves as a testament to both education and tradition during that era. It reminds us of how humans have long sought companionship with animals for various purposes such as hunting or sport. It also highlights our innate desire for growth and progress through teaching and learning from one another. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artwork, we are transported back centuries ago when hawking was not just a pastime but an essential skill passed down through generations - a true reflection of our enduring connection with nature's wonders.
