EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "How Mordred plotted against Sir Launcelot" transports us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and his legendary Round Table. Created by the talented artist Dora Curtis in 1905, this illustration is a remarkable piece from the first edition of "Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table" by Beatrice Clay. In this scene, we witness Mordred, a mythical figure known for his treachery and illegitimacy as King Arthur's son. The image captures a pivotal moment as Mordred cunningly plots against Sir Launcelot, one of Arthur's most trusted knights. With intense focus on their faces, it becomes evident that an exchange of advice or information is taking place between these two characters. The monochrome color scheme adds depth to the medieval setting while emphasizing the gravity of their conversation. As we observe this historical artwork, we are reminded of Britain's rich heritage and its enduring fascination with tales from the Middle Ages. Dora Curtis skillfully brings this iconic legend to life through her attention to detail and portrayal of emotion. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even within noble families like King Arthur's court, betrayal can lurk in unexpected places. As viewers immerse themselves in this scene from British mythology, they are transported into a world where loyalty is tested and legends are born – forever leaving an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
