EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from "The Romance of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table" by Alfred W. Pollard, we are transported into the mystical world of Arthurian legend. The image showcases the enigmatic Questing Beast, also known as the Beast Glatisant or Barking Beast, a fearsome creature that has captured imaginations for centuries. Rendered in vibrant colors through a lithographic process by renowned artist Arthur Rackham, this print brings to life the fantastical nature of this reptilian monster. With its scaly skin and menacing appearance, the Questing Beast exudes an aura of mystery and danger. The scene is set on a riverbank where the beast stands poised to drink from its source. Its long neck stretches towards the water's edge while its piercing eyes survey its surroundings with intensity. The landscape around it seems to come alive with lush vegetation and creeping vines, adding an element of enchantment to this mythical creature's presence. This artwork not only captures our attention but also sparks our imagination as we contemplate what adventures may lie ahead for King Arthur and his knights in their quest to confront such formidable creatures. It serves as a reminder that within every legend lies both beauty and peril – elements that continue to captivate audiences across generations.
