EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Maning hawks" is a remarkable piece of art from the 17th century. It was published by Richard Blome in his renowned work, The Gentlemans Recreation, which aimed to provide gentlemen with knowledge about various outdoor pursuits. The image showcases the fascinating sport of hawking, a popular leisure activity during that era. In this scene, we witness a man skillfully training his birds of prey. The majestic hawks stand proudly on their master's gloved hand as they prepare for an exhilarating hunt. Hawking was not only a form of entertainment but also a demonstration of power and status among gentlemen. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of this noble pursuit, highlighting the intricate bond between man and bird. The artist pays attention to detail by including hunting dogs or hounds in the background. These loyal companions played an essential role in assisting hunters during their expeditions. As we admire this restored print today, it serves as both a window into history and a testament to the enduring fascination with nature and adventure. It reminds us of how our ancestors found solace and excitement in outdoor activities like hawking while appreciating the beauty and gracefulness of these magnificent creatures. This artwork is now part of a private collection but continues to inspire enthusiasts who appreciate literature, restoration works, illustrations, or simply seek insight into life during those times when gentlemen pursued such refined pastimes.
