QUEEN ELIZABETH I of England hawking woodcut from George Truberville's 'Booke of Faulconrie,' 1575.
George Turberviller Turbervile (about 1540 - before 1597) was an English poet.
Queen Elizabeth I hawking, 1575, (1910). A 19th-century rendition from the Art of Falconrie by Turberville, (1585). The doublets have innumerable slashing, with the shirt protruding through the panes, and a small ruffle at the wrists. The doublet is tight-fitting with a crescent-shaped roll at the shoulder, and the front coming to a point. They were so hard-quilted, stuffed, bombasted and sewed that men could neither work nor yet play in them. The collar is high and close to the neck, and surmounted by a ruff. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910). Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector / Heritage-Images

The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
