EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "He never was the courteous knight, to say, 'fair maid will ye ride?'" by John Byam Liston Shaw, we are transported back to a world of chivalry and romance. The image depicts a scene from an enchanting ballad or love story, where a knight in shining armor stands before a fair maiden. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring life to the costumes worn by both characters. The knight's armor gleams with polished perfection while the maiden's gown flows gracefully around her. However, upon closer inspection, one can sense that something is amiss. The title suggests deception and trickery within this tale of love. Perhaps the suitor has not been as honorable as he initially appeared. It seems that his words were merely empty promises; he never asked the fair maiden if she would accompany him on his noble steed. As we delve into this artwork further, we are left wondering about the true intentions of these characters. Is there genuine affection between them or has their relationship been built on falsehoods? Only through exploring the accompanying ballads and lyrics can we hope to uncover their secrets. Shaw's masterful depiction invites us to ponder themes of love and deceit while immersing ourselves in an era long past. This print serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that true knights may not always possess courtesy towards fair maidens.
