EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the 1930s showcases the ancient art of falconry, with a dedicated falconer advancing forward to encourage his majestic falcon to take flight. The falconer wears a traditional gauntlet, a protective glove designed specifically for handling birds of prey, as he extends his arm towards the bird, inviting it to perch on his gloved hand. The falcon, with its sharp eyes focused intently on its human companion, seems to sense the falconer's intent and spreads its wings, ready to take to the air. Falconry, also known as hawking, is an age-old hunting technique that involves the use of trained birds of prey to catch game. The practice, which dates back over 4,000 years, has been a cherished pastime of nobility and commoners alike, and continues to be enjoyed by enthusiasts around the world. In this photograph, the falconer and his falcon are poised for the hunt, with the prey, likely a small mammal or bird, lying in wait in the distance. The natural beauty of the scene is enhanced by the rugged terrain and the rich colors of the falcon's plumage, creating a striking contrast against the muted tones of the landscape. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when humans and birds worked together in harmony, united by the thrill of the hunt and the deep bond between man and beast.
