EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts an enchanting scene from the 14th century. Nobles and ladies, elegantly dressed in vibrant garments, engage in the ancient sport of hawking on horseback. The thrill of the chase is evident on their faces as they release their falcons into the sky, their eyes fixed on the prey. The falconer, positioned at the river's edge, skillfully frightens birds to lure them towards the hawks. The falcon, perched on his gloved hand, watches intently for its next opportunity to strike. The tranquil water reflects the beauty of the scene, adding an element of serenity to the lively hunt. Hawking, a popular pastime among the aristocracy during the Middle Ages, required great skill and patience. The sport involved the use of a trained falcon to hunt wild game, such as foxes, hares, and birds. The combination of horse, rider, falcon, and prey created a breathtaking spectacle, often depicted in illuminated manuscripts and other works of art. This exquisite illustration, taken from Strutt's comprehensive publication 'Sports and Pastimes of the People of England,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of falconry and the role it played in medieval society. The intricate details, vibrant colours, and dynamic composition make this a truly captivating work of art that continues to captivate audiences today.
