Book
Facsimile reprint of the 1929 edition published by the Cresset Press Ltd, London. Hardback. xxxii, 123pp. Green boards with gilt hawk design to front and gilt to spine. Top edge tinted green. Dust jacket. In 1686, Richard Blome (a somewhat notorious character) raised sufficient subscriptions to publish his "The Gentleman's Recreation". the first part of this publication was an encyclopaedia of the arts and sciences, the second treated Horsemanship, Hawking, Hunting, Rowling, Fishing and Agriculture, with a short treatise on cockfighting. The second part was lifted almost entirely from a translation of Les Ruses Innocentes and from the works of Markham and Turberville. From this compendium has been extracted the piece on Hawking, together with an interesting article on the taking of birds including hawks with an eagle owl. The scope of this extract is covered by a typically generous subheading, 'wherein is treated of the several kinds of Hawks now in use with their natures and qualities. The manner of reclaiming, mewing and flying them. Their diseases and cures. With a short discourse of the spaniel showing his use in Falconry.' This book represents a welcome reappearance of this scarce treatise on seventeenth-century hawking, with its fine copper engravings. Although it is a massive piece of plagiarism, the original scholarship is sufficiently sound to justify its reissue in this form. Black & white copper engravings plus a fold-out illustration at front. Book condition very good. Minor wear only and some very slight soiling to text block edges. Faintly musty odour but no sign of any damp damage. Dust jacket very good. Price clipped and with some minor edge wear and some very light soiling. Very small crease to corner of rear flap. Jacket in a protective sleeve. Book.
