EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece image from the past portrays Queen Elizabeth I, the legendary monarch of England, engaging in the noble and ancient sport of hawking or falconry on a crisp winter day. The snow-covered landscape adds an enchanting touch to the scene, as the Queen, dressed in a fur-trimmed gown, focuses intently on her hawk, poised in mid-flight above her gloved hand. A cortier, an attendant responsible for the care and training of the royal birds, stands nearby, holding a blindfolded bird at the ready. A young boy, perhaps a page, looks on with a sense of awe and excitement, while a snowy-white EMAS hound, a breed essential to the sport for starting and retrieving game, waits patiently by the Queen's side. The sphere in the foreground, adorned with intricate designs and symbols, serves as a reminder of the grandeur and sophistication of the royal court. The image, filled with historical detail and evocative of the Christmas season, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of Tudor England and the pastimes of its most famous queen. This evocative print, showcasing the regal beauty of Queen Elizabeth I and the thrilling spectacle of hawking, is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the timeless appeal of the sporting tradition.
