EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a momentous scene from history - the pilgrimage of devout pilgrims under the watchful escort of Knights Templars, as they catch their first glimpse of Jerusalem. The illustration, taken from H. D. M. Spence-Jones' renowned book "The Church of England: A History for the People" published around 1910, transports us back to the twelfth century during the time of crusades. In this evocative image, we witness a group of pilgrims on horseback, their heads bowed in prayer and reverence as they approach the holy city. The Knights Templars, distinguished by their iconic white mantles adorned with red crosses, ride alongside them in a protective formation. Their presence exudes strength and devotion as they guard these faithful individuals on their sacred journey. The artist behind this lithograph is Francois Edouard Zier (1856-1924), whose attention to detail brings life to every element within this engraving. From the intricate armor worn by both knights and horses to the expressions etched upon each face present in this scene, Zier's artistry beautifully captures both religious fervor and historical accuracy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection held privately today, we are reminded not only of an era long past but also of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual enlightenment. It serves as a testament to faith's ability to transcend time and connect generations across centuries - an awe-inspiring reminder that echoes through
