EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Put away from you that sword, 1905" takes us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and the Round Table. Created by artist Dora Curtis as an illustration for Beatrice Clay's Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table, this piece captures a pivotal moment in British legend. In this scene, we witness a powerful concept unfolding before our eyes. A knight, adorned in his majestic suit of armor, stands tall with his sword raised high. However, it is a lady who gently reaches out towards him with a plea to put away his weapon. The contrasting imagery between strength and vulnerability creates an intriguing tension within the composition. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this medieval setting, transporting us to a time when chivalry and honor were paramount. The attention to detail in both costume design and location evokes a sense of authenticity that brings these legendary characters to life. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from the early 20th century, we are reminded of Britain's rich history and its enduring fascination with mythological tales. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of war and warfare, there is room for compassion and understanding – urging us all to lay down our swords for peace.
