EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts an exhilarating moment from the 14th century, as two knights engage in the noble and chivalric sport of jousting. Dressed in suits of gleaming armour, complete with helms adorned with heraldic colours, these gallant warriors charge towards each other on their powerful horses. The air is thick with anticipation and excitement as they poise their lances, ready to deliver a powerful blow. Jousting was a popular pastime among the nobility during the Middle Ages, and tournaments were held to showcase the skill, strength, and courage of the knights. The game was not only a display of martial prowess but also a means of settling disputes, testing new weapons, and fostering camaraderie. The intricate details of the knights' armour and heraldic colours are beautifully rendered in this illustration by Joseph Strutt, from his comprehensive work "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," published in 1876. The lithograph masterfully captures the spirit of the era, transporting us back to a time when chivalry and honour reigned supreme.
