Latham's Falconry: or, The Falcon's Lure and Cure - Paperback

Latham's Falconry is considered the great classic in English language books on the Art of Falconry. Syman Latham has long been considered one of the greatest experts ever to live on the sport of Falconry and published his two books on the subject in 1615 and 1618, during a period when Hawking and Falconry was at its height in England. Author Gilbert Blaine described Symon Latham's books "as probably the finest work on falconry in the English language". Original copies of Latham's original work have sold for as high as $13,000, creating much demand for this very affordable modern reprint.
