EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print, titled "The Falconer" is a remarkable piece of art from George Turbevile or Turbeville's Book of Faulconrie in 1611. The image transports us to the English countryside during the early 17th century, where an experienced falconer engages in his timeless craft. In this scene, we witness a man dressed in traditional British attire, his wrist adorned with a sturdy gauntlet. Perched on his gloved hand is a magnificent bird of prey, its sharp talons gripping tightly onto the leather surface. The majestic creature remains hooded for now, concealing its piercing gaze as it awaits the falconer's command. Surrounded by nature's beauty, our attention is drawn to the hunting hound standing faithfully beside its master. Both man and dog share an unspoken bond forged through countless expeditions together. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot of ancient hunting traditions that have been passed down through generations. The intricate details captured within this woodcut evoke a sense of admiration for these skilled hunters and their symbiotic relationship with nature. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance attached to falconry in England. As we admire this historical artwork preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also reflect upon our own connection with wildlife and how humans have long sought harmony alongside these magnificent creatures.
