EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "From the Bokys of Haukyng and Huntyng and also of Cootarmuris" offers a glimpse into the world of hunting and hawking in 15th-century England. Printed at St Albans around 1486, this image is a facsimile from an early printed book housed in the British Museum. The illustration showcases a scene filled with excitement and adventure. A group of hunters, armed with spears and bows, are mounted on horseback as they pursue their prey through lush countryside. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every strand of hair on the horses' manes seems to come alive under the skilled hand of the artist. The print not only captures the thrill of hunting but also provides valuable insight into medieval pastimes. It serves as a reminder that these activities were not just for sport but were essential skills for survival during that era. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how our ancestors engaged with nature. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in each stroke reminds us of the importance placed on preserving knowledge through printing even centuries ago. This print is a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence—a true treasure preserved within private collections worldwide.
