EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century literature. The illustration, created by J. Tenniel for the poem "The Cynotaph" from "The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels" by Thomas Ingoldsby, transports us into a scene filled with merriment and revelry. In this whimsical depiction, we find ourselves amidst a jovial gathering where a knight in shining armor sits at the center of attention. Surrounded by his comrades, he indulges in food and drink with great gusto. The atmosphere is one of unbridled joy as laughter fills the air. Tenniel's meticulous attention to detail brings each character to life; their expressions exude both delight and mischief. Mounted on his trusty steed nearby, our knight seems to have momentarily forgotten his chivalrous duties as he succumbs to the pleasures of feasting alongside his fellow knights. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to how literature can inspire visual artistry. Through this lithograph, we are reminded of the power that storytelling holds over our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative charm – an invitation to immerse ourselves in an era long gone yet forever preserved within these pages from history's literary tapestry.
