LE TIERCELET (immature male of the Northern Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis). Hand-coloured lithograph by J. Wolf, with additional details by C. Scheuren, p1. 11 (c. 1844) from H. Schlegel and A.H. Verster van Wulverhorst's Traité de Fauconnerie, 1844-53. As the Netherlands were for long the centre of European falconry, it is not surprising that two Dutchmen should have published the most impressive of all books on the subject. What makes it impressive, of course, are Wolf's life-size illustrations. This is one of the dozen lithographs he executed for Schlegel and Wulverhorst's Traité de Fauconnerie. It portrays a male bird, whose vertically disposed markings on its breast show that it is immature. These are the kind of markings, mentioned in the description of the previous plate, which so pleased John Gould, who says that "in no one member of the great family of falcons does there occur a greater dissimilarity between the young bird of the year, with the lanceolate markings of its breast, and the fully adult, in which the same part is crossed by numerous fine bars." The ancient craft of falconry developed in the Old World, but the sport is now being practised with great enthusiasm and ingenuity in North America. There they now take advantage of the Northern Goshawk's natural hunting tendencies by training it to pursue birds and mammals in wooded environments. To help them find it and its prey after a strike they attach a bell to its legs.
