EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from "The Story of King Arthur and his Knights" we witness a pivotal moment as King Arthur stumbles upon the mysterious old woman in her humble hut. The lithograph, created by Howard Pyle in 1903, beautifully captures the essence of this legendary encounter. As wisps of smoke swirl around them, the aged woman's ugliness is strikingly juxtaposed against the regal armor and majestic crown worn by King Arthur. This portrayal highlights not only their stark contrast but also the mythical nature of their meeting. With an air of discovery surrounding him, our beloved ruler appears both intrigued and cautious as he gazes upon this unexpected character. It is said that hidden beneath her magical disguise lies a loathly lady who holds secrets that could alter his destiny forever. Pyle's attention to detail brings to life the medieval setting with its flickering fire casting an ethereal glow on their faces. The engraving technique adds depth and texture to every element, enhancing our immersion into this arthurian legend. This print serves as a reminder that even in realms filled with chivalry and valor, there exists room for mystery and enchantment. Through literature and artistry such as this, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand these iconic moments from ancient tales.
