EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ladies Hawking, 14th century" takes us back in time to the medieval era of England. Created in 1833 by Joseph Strutt, an engraving after a manuscript found in the British Library, this illustration beautifully captures a scene from the past. In this image, we see two elegant women dressed in traditional attire engaging in the ancient sport of hawking. With their bird of prey perched on their gloved hands, they exude grace and poise as they navigate through the English countryside. The intricate details showcased within this monochrome print bring to life the rich history and culture of this period. Hawking was not only a popular pastime but also a symbol of nobility during medieval times. It allowed individuals to showcase their skills while enjoying nature's beauty. This artwork serves as a reminder of how women played an active role even centuries ago, defying societal norms and participating in activities traditionally associated with men. The artist's meticulous attention to detail transports us into another world altogether - one where falcons soared high above lush landscapes and ladies embraced adventure alongside their feathered companions. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded that history is not just about dates but also about stories waiting to be discovered within each brushstroke or etching line.
