Three panels depicting Hawking in England from
various time periods. The middle panel is from a
Saxon manuscript dated to late 900s - early 1000s,
as of 1801 held in the 'Cotton Library', showing a
Saxon nobleman and his falconer, with their hawks
upon the banks of a river, waiting for the rise of the
game. The top and bottom panels are drawings from
a manuscript held, as of 1801, in the 'Royal Library'
dating from early 1300s showing parties of both sexes
hawking by the waterside; the falconer is frightening
the fowl to make them rise and the and the hawk is
in the act of seizing upon one of them
