" VICTORY" : LADIES TILTING AT THE RING IN TENERIFE, 1897: Tilting at the ring is a favourite amusement with ladies and gentlemen visiting the Canary Islands. At most of the hotels there are courses laid out for tournaments, decorated with flags and foliage, where races and sports of all kinds are indulged in. For tilting, broad silk ribbons or banners on rollers are fixed on a crossbar. At one end of the banner is a ring which hangs below the roll of silk. The tilter has to gallop under the crossbar with his or her lance, and carry away the ring. If the tilter be successful the lance passes through the ring, and the banner unfurls off the roller and floats gracefully behind the competitor

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the enchanting Canary Islands of 1897, where ladies and gentlemen indulged in their favorite amusement - tilting at the ring. This print captures a moment of exhilaration as competitors on horseback gallop under a crossbar adorned with broad silk ribbons and banners. The air is filled with excitement as each tilter aims to carry away the hanging ring using their lance. The hotels of Tenerife spared no effort in creating magnificent courses for these tournaments, embellished with vibrant flags and foliage that added an extra touch of grandeur to this spectacle. As successful tilts were achieved, the lances would pass through the ring, causing the banner to unfurl from its roller and gracefully float behind the triumphant competitor. This exquisite engraving from Arkheia takes us back to a bygone era when such sporting events were cherished forms of entertainment. Its intricate details showcase not only historic art but also highlight illustrative techniques prevalent during the Victorian era. With its retro-styled charm and vintage appeal, this 19th-century engraving transports us into a world where elegance met adventure. It serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship that continues to captivate audiences even today.
