The World of Falconry joins a beautifully illustrated European treatise on the sport by Schlegel and Wulverhorst with a fascinating introduction to falconry as practiced today in Arabia. The treatise describes the origins and language of falconry, the falconer's equipment, the various birds used for hawking, as well as different forms in which the sport is practiced. This instructive and learned text is embellished by up-to-date action shots as well as by paintings, prints and engravings of hunters and birds. The introduction to Arabian falconry will be a revelation to many North Americans and the unusual photographs have all the romance and charm of One Thousand and One Nights. This study is certainly among the most beautiful and comprehensive ever published, and will be treasured not only by falconers but by all who love birds and nature. Seller Inventory # 261022034
