EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a bygone era in Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjaub, India in 1889. The image beautifully captures the essence of a day's hawking, an ancient sport that has been practiced for centuries. The scene unfolds with breathtaking grace as a majestic Saker Falcon takes center stage. With its powerful wingspan and keen eyesight, it effortlessly soars through the sky, showcasing its incredible hunting prowess. In a display of pure skill and precision, the falcon has successfully captured a kite mid-flight. Surrounding this awe-inspiring spectacle is the vibrant landscape of Punjaub. The lush green fields stretch out endlessly under an azure sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. A sense of tranquility pervades the air as local villagers gather to witness this extraordinary event. This photograph not only immortalizes a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India. Hawking was not merely a sport but also served as an important means of sustenance for many communities during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but feel connected to history and appreciate the harmony between man and nature that existed in those days gone by. It serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that reminds us of our shared human experiences across time and place.
