Book Description (Hardcover, 1987 ). 1987 1st edition. Square quarto (260 x 284mm). Pp255. Lavishly illustrated, mostly in colour, bibliography, silk marker ribbon. Green cloth, upper board and spine titled in gilt. Very good in slightly used dust-wrapper and in publisher's card sleeve. "[Falconry] was the traditional sport of kings, princes and nobility in many lands yet freely practised elsewhere by people of all social classes. The trappings and atmosphere of the sport stimulated artists through the centuries to portray scenes and incidents of falconry with a wealth of fascinating and picturesque detail; and the bulk of this ambitious volume is devoted to a comprehensive collection of art works, from the age of the Hittites to the modern age, with falconry as their theme. The author places these in their historical context, tracing the development of the sport with supporting evidence from historical documents, folklore and anecdote." . Seller Inventory # 51638
