Sport in Art: An Iconography of Sport is a richly illustrated book that examines the depiction of field sports such as hunting, shooting, falconry, and fishing in European and American art from the 15th to the 18th century.
Spanning the period from the advent of printing to the French Revolution, it provides a comprehensive exploration of the cultural and historical significance of these sports.
The book also features rare illustrations of horsemanship and some of the earliest artistic portrayals of mountain climbing, making it an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of art, history, and sports.
