EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving captures a moment of intrigue and chivalry from the 14th century court of King Edward II. The Countess of Salisbury is depicted losing her garter while dancing at a lavish ball, only for the king himself to gallantly pick it up. This seemingly innocent gesture would go on to become the origin story of one of England's most prestigious orders - the Order of the Garter, founded in 1348.
The scene exudes elegance and historical significance, with every detail meticulously captured by artist Verico. From the opulent costumes worn by nobility to the grandeur of the court setting, this engraving transports us back in time to an era defined by tradition and honor.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of a time when gestures as simple as picking up a fallen garter could hold great symbolic meaning. It serves as a window into a world where etiquette and ceremony reigned supreme, and where even small acts could shape history.
This print is not just a work of art; it is a glimpse into a fascinating chapter in medieval history that continues to captivate our imagination centuries later.
