EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - Queen Elizabeth I and her attendants out hawking in the year 1575. The image showcases the queen herself riding side-saddle, exuding grace and elegance as she partakes in this popular Tudor sport. In the foreground, we witness a man releasing his hawk, ready to take flight and pursue its prey. Above them, another hawk is seen skillfully bringing down a bird with precision. This snapshot from "The Booke of Faulconrie" by George Turbevile truly encapsulates the artistry and excitement of falconry during that era. Surrounded by her loyal entourage, Queen Elizabeth I stands out as a powerful female figure amidst the English countryside. Her presence commands attention while showcasing her love for outdoor pursuits traditionally associated with men. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this sixteenth-century scene, allowing us to transport ourselves back to an era where hunting was not only a sport but also an important social activity for nobility. As we delve into this mesmerizing woodcut print by George Turbevile, we are reminded of Queen Elizabeth's reign as one of England's most influential monarchs. Her passion for hawking symbolizes her strength, determination, and unwavering commitment to breaking societal norms - qualities that continue to inspire us today.
