EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Hunting Book of Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix" a remarkable manuscript dating back to the 14th century. The image captures an exquisite illumination depicting various traps designed for hunting all kinds of animals. Created by the French School during the Middle Ages, this artwork offers a glimpse into the intricate world of medieval hunting practices. The attention to detail in this miniature is truly awe-inspiring. Each trap is meticulously illustrated, showcasing the ingenuity and craftsmanship employed by hunters during that era. From snares and nets to pitfalls and decoys, these traps were essential tools used in capturing game for sustenance or sport. Gaston Phoebus, also known as Gaston III of Foix-Béarn (1331-1391), was not only a nobleman but also an avid hunter who documented his knowledge and experiences in this extraordinary book. It serves as both an instructional guide for fellow hunters and a testament to his passion for the pursuit. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this piece even more. Preserved at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, it stands as a testament to our fascination with nature and our desire to understand and conquer it. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time—a window into an age where hunting was not just about survival but also an art
