EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hood (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of falconry and the artistry of costume design. The engraving, created by an unknown European School artist, showcases a hooded falcon perched on a gloved hand. The intricate details of the bird's feathers and piercing eyes are beautifully captured in this stunning illustration. The image is part of Louis Figuier's book "Reptiles and Birds" published in 1892. It serves as an educational tool that explores natural history and scientific methods prevalent during that era. This particular engraving sheds light on the ancient practice of falconry, where birds of prey were trained for hunting purposes. The historical significance behind this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of falconry but also in its depiction of attire worn by hunters during state hunts. It offers a window into early 19th-century fashion trends associated with bloodsports. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to our understanding of wildlife conservation throughout history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and elegance inherent in nature's most majestic creatures.
