EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Knight Templar in garb 'no longer of the cross'" transports us back to the early 19th century. Created by Jacques Charles Bar, it depicts a Knight Templar adorned not with the iconic symbol of the cross but armed with a lance and sword instead. The Knights Templar were an esteemed military order established in 1118 to safeguard pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. Bar's illustration was originally featured in his work "Costumes des ordres religieux et militaires" from 1778. This handcolored copperplate engraving was later included in Robert von Spalart's comprehensive collection of historical costumes, published in Vienna in 1802. The image showcases intricate details of the knight's attire and costume design, providing valuable insight into medieval fashion. It offers a glimpse into Germanic culture during this period, specifically highlighting northern Germany as its origin. The Knight Templar portrayed here represents strength and chivalry, embodying the ideals that these noble warriors held dear. While no longer wearing their distinctive cross insignia, they continue to command respect through their formidable weaponry and unwavering dedication. This print serves as a testament to history and reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by these valiant knights who once roamed our world centuries ago.
