EDITORS COMMENTS
A Page from the Past: Hawking and Falconry in the 1830s This illustration, dated 1832, transports us back to an era of grandeur and nobility, as we witness an elaborate scene of hawking and falconry. The image, reminiscent of an early 19th century reenactment, showcases individuals dressed in elaborate Elizabethan costumes, engaging in this ancient sport on horseback. The riders, adorned with extravagant hats, are intently focused on their falcons perched on their gloved hands. The falcons, with their sharp eyes and poised bodies, are ready to take flight in pursuit of their prey. Dogs, alert and attentive, accompany the riders, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. This illustration, taken from a book published in 1832, is a testament to the popularity of hawking and falconry during this time. The sport, which dates back to ancient civilizations, was a symbol of power, wealth, and nobility. The intricate details of the costumes, the horses, and the birds all contribute to the richness and authenticity of the scene. The illustration, created by the renowned artist Pierce Egan, is a humorous yet accurate portrayal of the sport and the people who participated in it. Egan, known for his illustrations of sporting scenes, captures the essence of the moment, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing us with a window into the world of hawking and falconry in the 1830s.
