EDITORS COMMENTS
This brass rubbing, created by John Woodcock in 1949, showcases an intricately detailed image of a knight in full armor. The knight's helmet, adorned with intricate designs and chain mail, is the focal point of the composition. This rubbing was taken from a tomb in a church, a testament to the rich history and heritage it represents. John Woodcock, an accomplished calligrapher, handwrote, illustrated, and bound this manuscript, titled "English Brasses." The collection contains numerous brass rubbings of knights and nobles, as well as noblewomen, including Sir John d'Abernon, Thomas de Hope, Nichol de Gore, the wives of Reginald de Malyns, Nicholas Wadham, and Nicholas Wotton. The 20th century manuscript, executed in ink and pigments on white bond paper, is bound between black Nigerian goat quarter cardboard covers, covered with hot pressed wove tan paper. The monochrome, sepia-toned image transports us back to the Middle Ages, a time of chivalry, warfare, and deep Christian faith. The knight's stoic expression and imposing presence evoke a sense of awe and reverence, reminding us of the significant role these figures played in history. This evocative image, a part of the Walters Art Museum collection in the United States, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the stories and legacies of these noble figures.
