EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the timeless tale of Geraint and Enid, as they ride away from a fierce battle. Illustrated by Gustave Dore for Alfred Tennyson's Idylls of the King, this print beautifully depicts the culmination of their arduous and perilous journey. Geraint, a valiant knight, is portrayed with unwavering determination etched upon his face. His armor gleams under the sunlight, symbolizing his bravery and resilience throughout their trials. Enid, his loyal companion and beloved wife, sits gracefully behind him on their noble steed. Her expression reflects both relief and exhaustion after enduring countless hardships alongside her husband. As they escape from the battlefield behind them, one can almost sense the weight lifted off their shoulders. The landscape surrounding them exudes an aura of remoteness and tranquility—a stark contrast to the chaos they have left behind. This illustration not only showcases Tennyson's masterful storytelling but also pays homage to Welsh mythology through its connection to Mabinogian romances. It encapsulates themes of courtly love, chivalry, and medieval romance that resonate across time. Gazing at this print evokes a sense of awe for these legendary figures who embody courage in adversity while highlighting the power of loyalty amidst turmoil. It serves as a reminder that even in our own journeys through life's battles—both literal and metaphorical—we can find solace in companionship and draw strength from those who stand beside us
