EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured copperplate engraving, Sir Ethelbert, a gallant Medieval knight in full suit of armour, tenderly cradles the fainting form of Lady Adelaide. The scene unfolds before the grandeur of a castle backdrop, as the defeated opponent, Sir Alan, lies defeated and lifeless on the ground. The knight's helmeted head is adorned with heraldic crests, while his suit of armour glistens with intricate engravings and shimmering metallic sheen. The contrast between the raw power and strength of the knight in armour and the delicate vulnerability of the swooning lady is a testament to the chivalric code of honor and protection. The ethereal presence of a spectral figure, perhaps a spirit or a ghost from the occult realm, hovers above the scene, observing the unfolding events with a knowing smile. The engraving, taken from Thomas Rowlandson's illustration in "The Tournament, or Days of Chivalry," published by William Sams in London in 1823, captures the essence of the Medieval tourney, where knights would engage in fierce battles, displaying their prowess and valor, all in the name of love and honor. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricate patterns on the knight's suit of armour to the delicate folds of Lady Adelaide's gown, bring the scene to life, transporting us back to an age of romance, honor, and chivalry.
