EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the 14th century, capturing the essence of medieval falconry. Entitled "King Modus teaching the art of falconry" this engraving is a 19th-century reproduction of an original manuscript illustration found in Livres du Roy Modus at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. The image transports us back to a time when monarchs held great influence over their subjects, even extending to their recreational pursuits. King Modus, seated regally on his throne chair, imparts his knowledge and expertise on falconry to eager learners. The intricate details of this artwork highlight not only the majestic birds but also the ornate attire worn by both king and students. Falconry, a popular sport among nobility during that era, symbolized power and control over nature. This print captures the essence of this ancient practice while providing insight into medieval education methods. It serves as a reminder that learning was not limited to academic subjects but extended to practical skills valued by royalty. Paul Lacroix's collaboration with Ferdinand Sere and A Rivaud in Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance brings this historical moment alive for modern audiences. Through their meticulous work, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty and educational significance preserved within these pages. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through ink on paper, we are reminded once again of our connection to past civilizations and how they shaped our present understanding of culture and tradition
