EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a captivating scene from the 14th century, depicting vailets of falconry. Originally an illustration in Livres du Roy Modus, a manuscript held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, this 19th-century version brings to life the medieval art of falconry. The image captures men dressed in traditional attire, engrossed in their occupation as falconers. Intricately engraved, every detail is meticulously portrayed – from the majestic birds of prey perched on their handlers' arms to the hunting horn carried by one of the huntsmen. This snapshot into history offers a glimpse into a profession that was highly regarded during medieval times. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this print collector's piece. It transports us back centuries ago when falconry was not just a hobby but also an important aspect of hunting and survival. These skilled individuals were responsible for training and preparing these magnificent creatures for their noble purpose. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded of how different occupations have evolved over time while still maintaining certain elements throughout history. This photograph serves as both an educational tool and a beautiful representation of our past heritage - capturing the essence of tradition and human-animal connection that has fascinated people for centuries.
