En savoir plus sur le livre

Falconry, once a symbol of social status, faced decline in the 17th and 18th centuries but underwent an organizational shift that ensured its survival. This book delves into the sport's requirements and historical context, exploring its connections to fox hunting and shooting. It examines the role of clubs, amateur governance, and the impact of ornithology, particularly through Lord Lilford's influence. Additionally, it addresses falconry's representation in art and literature, appealing to sport and cultural historians and those interested in the intricate bond between humans and birds of prey.
