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.
