EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a plate from Hermann Schlegel and A.H. Verster's Traite de Fauconnerie, published between 1844 and 1853. The plate showcases the gyrfalcon, scientifically known as Falco rusticolus, a magnificent bird of prey belonging to the Falconidae family within the order Falconiformes. The sauropsid avian species is renowned for its long, white plumage, making it one of the largest and most striking falcons. The gyrfalcon is depicted in the plate with a leather glove covering its talons, a hood concealing its head, and a prey item clutched in its beak. Falconry, an ancient hobby that involves training birds of prey to hunt wild game, is evident in this illustration. The hood is used to calm and focus the falcon during the hunting process. The gyrfalcon's spotted appearance, with its white plumage speckled with black and brown, makes it an adaptable and versatile hunter in its Arctic and sub-Arctic habitats. Its long, hooked beak and sharp talons are essential tools for capturing and killing its prey, which includes a variety of birds and mammals. This image is a testament to the rich history of falconry and the fascination humans have had with these magnificent birds for centuries. The intricate details in the illustration, from the gyrfalcon's plumage to the texture of the leather glove, highlight the skill and artistry of the illustrator. The gyrfalcon remains a symbol of power, grace, and the enduring human-animal bond.
