EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving, we are transported back to the 14th century, immersing ourselves in the ancient art of falconry. The scene depicts a group of skilled falconers meticulously dressing their birds, preparing them for an exhilarating hunt. The attention to detail is remarkable as each man delicately handles his majestic falcon with utmost care and precision. Their expertise shines through as they adorn the birds with intricate leather hoods and jesses, ensuring both functionality and elegance. This snapshot into medieval daily life offers a glimpse into the close bond between these men and their feathered companions. The trust between hunter and bird is palpable; it is evident that years of training have forged an unbreakable partnership. Henri Ferrières' Livre du Roy Modus serves as the inspiration for this wood engraving, capturing not only the technical aspects of falconry but also its cultural significance during that time period. Falconry was not merely a sport or pastime; it represented power, nobility, and control over nature. As we admire this historical artwork from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we can't help but marvel at how centuries-old traditions continue to captivate our imaginations today. This print transports us back in time while reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's beauty and our desire to connect with it on a deeper level.
