EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the 19th century, where the ancient art of hawking held a prominent place in the lives of the aristocracy. In the foreground, the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, though not born until the 20th century, is depicted in this historical scene, showcasing his deep appreciation for the rich heritage of falconry. Hawking, with a thoughtful expression, reaches out to gently touch the hooded falcon perched on his gloved hand. The falcon, poised and alert, gazes intently at its master, its keen eyes reflecting the intensity and focus of the hunt. Falconry, an ancient practice dating back over 4,000 years, was a cherished pastime among the nobility. The falcon, a symbol of power and freedom, was trained to hunt wild game, such as quail, pheasants, and hares. The hooded falcon in this image is likely a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird in the world, known for its incredible hunting abilities. The hood, an essential part of falconry, was used to protect the falcon's eyes from the sun and to help calm and focus the bird during the hunt. The hood in this image is adorned with intricate designs, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the falconer's guilds of the time. This striking photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, where the bond between man and nature was celebrated and revered. The image of Hawking and the hooded falcon serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of falconry and the rich history it holds.
