EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Hawking Party in the Olden Times" we are transported back to a bygone era of elegance and adventure. Painted by an English School artist in the 19th century, this scene captures the essence of a hawking party with remarkable detail. The image showcases a group of noble individuals on horseback, accompanied by their loyal hunting dogs. Clad in exquisite attire, they exude sophistication and grace as they engage in the ancient sport of falconry. A magnificent falcon perches proudly on one gentleman's gloved hand, while another holds his hawk firmly on its leash. Amidst the excitement, we notice various elements that add depth to this historical tableau. The participants carry walking sticks or canes, symbols of their status and authority. It is evident that these huntsmen not only pursue game but also revel in camaraderie and playfulness during their outings. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Boys of the Empire magazine published by Edwin Brett in 1888. Its inclusion speaks volumes about how such scenes were cherished even among younger audiences at that time. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our connection to history and how pastimes like hawking continue to captivate us today.
