EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sir Isumbras at the Ford" takes us back to a bygone era of myth and legend. The image, captured from a facsimile of an anonymous engraving dating back to 1857, satirizes the Pre-Raphaelite painting of the same subject by Sir John Everett Millais. It showcases the wit and creativity of artists in the 19th century who used satire as a tool for commentary. In this scene, we see Sir Isumbras, a medieval knight, bravely crossing a river on his trusty donkey. The composition is rich with symbolism and irony as it pokes fun at both traditional medieval romances and the revered Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph highlights the skillful craftsmanship of English School artists during that time. The juxtaposition between mythological elements like knights and legends with everyday objects such as donkeys adds an element of whimsy to this piece. It reminds us that art can be playful while still conveying deeper messages about society and artistic movements. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art throughout history. Its inclusion in A Catalogue of a Collection of Engravings, Etchings, and Woodcuts by Richard Fisher further solidifies its significance within artistic discourse. As we admire this intriguing image today, we are reminded not only of its historical context but also how humor can be found even in serious works of art.
