"Faucon: A Tapestry of History and Nature" In the month of May, let us embark on a journey through time and explore the captivating world of "faucon. " From La Chasse au Faucon, a remarkable wool tapestry dating back to the 16th century, to an enchanting engraving in "Alphabet" by Charles Unsinger for Alphonse Lemerre, this majestic bird has left its mark throughout history. Zoology lessons from 1491 introduce us to the fascinating realm of birds, where falcons reign supreme. Their grace and power are beautifully captured in silk paintings like Itaya Keishiu's masterpiece from the 18th century. The Flemish School also immortalized these magnificent creatures in their hunting scenes set amidst picturesque countryside landscapes. But not all tales about they are filled with glory. In vignettes illustrated by JJ Granville, we witness how revolutions can bring ruin upon these noble birds. Yet even in adversity, they remain symbols of resilience and strength. The artistry surrounding faucons extends beyond mere depictions; it intertwines with culture and tradition. A Kyrgyz Chef from the Caucasus proudly displays his connection to these regal creatures within his yurt as depicted in Jules Ferrario's work "The Old and Modern Costume. " Birdcatchers have long sought after hawks using ingenious traps baited with rats. Plate 64 showcases their craftiness while highlighting humanity's intricate relationship with nature. A poster advertising the 4th Assembly of Sokols in Prague transports us to more recent times when faucons were revered as emblems of agility and determination. Lastly, we stumble upon a peculiar image - a man adorned with cuckolds horns holding a magick cup. What secrets lie behind this enigmatic portrayal? Perhaps it is an allegory reminding us that even those who possess great power must tread carefully or risk losing everything.
