The image depicts the Hawk King and the Falcon in a mesmerizing 19th-century style allegory painting. As we delve into this enchanting scene, we are transported to a world where animals reign supreme. The black and white engraved image showcases Dore's exceptional artistry and attention to detail. Each stroke of his woodcut technique brings life to every feathered creature portrayed. The regal Hawk King stands tall with an air of authority, while the graceful Falcon soars above him with elegance and poise. This illustration takes us back to an era when falconry was not only an animal sport but also a symbol of power and nobility.

It serves as a reminder that literature has always been intertwined with art throughout history. Duncan1890's rendition of this masterpiece is truly captivating, reviving Victorian-style aesthetics for contemporary audiences. This print is more than just an antique; it represents our enduring fascination with the past and our appreciation for craftsmanship that withstands time's passage. Incorporating this piece into your collection will transport you to another realm where imagination meets reality – where hawks become kings
