About this plate

Le Groënlandais, faucon blanc mué (b) is from Traité de fauconnerie by Hermann Schlegel (1844–1853). In English: Greenland Gyrfalcon, white moulted bird (b). This facsimile is made from the copy in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, and printed at the size of the original sheet, 20¾ × 28½ in (53 × 72.5 cm).

About the original

Hermann Schlegel (1804-1884) and his friend Verster van Wulverhorst published the Traité de fauconnerie, a study of the almost forgotten art of falconry, in fewer than 100 copies. Its life-size, hand-coloured plates of the hawks are mainly by Joseph Wolf, and they launched his international career.

Two plates show heron hawking at Het Loo in 1844, with portraits of the falconers of the day; two others show hoods, jesses, lures and other equipment.
