EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "At the City of the Countess of the Fountain" takes us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur's legendary tales. Created by Gustave Doré in 1882, this print is a true masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of Arthurian legend. The scene depicted showcases a majestic castle with towering banners fluttering in the wind. A drawbridge connects the castle to its surroundings, symbolizing both protection and invitation. In front of this grand structure, we witness knights on horseback, their armor shining brightly as they prepare for an epic quest. One knight stands out from the rest – Sir Ewaine, a member of King Arthur's renowned Round Table. With his noble steed and gallant demeanor, he embodies chivalry and bravery at its finest. The valley surrounding him is known as the Valley of the Fountain - a place where magical waters flow endlessly. As we gaze upon this illustration from Charles Henry Hanson's Stories of Days King Arthur (pub. 1898), we are transported into a realm filled with honor, adventure, and mythical wonders. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern times, these timeless stories continue to captivate our imagination. This historical gem belongs to Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection – an invaluable resource preserving significant moments in history through artistry. Let us cherish this remarkable piece while appreciating its artistic brilliance and profound connection to one of literature's most beloved legends: King Arthur
