EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled "Tilting games, 14th century," offers a fascinating glimpse into the medieval world of sport and recreation. The image is filled with vibrant details that showcase three distinct tilting games popular during the 14th century in England. At the top of the print, we see a thrilling wrestling match between two men for possession of a long, vertical pole. The victor, triumphantly holding the pole aloft, is surrounded by onlookers, their expressions a mix of excitement and anticipation. The pole, a symbol of power and dominance, adds an element of competition and strategy to the game. Moving down the image, we come across a lively scene of tilting rings and jousting toys. These games, played on horseback, were a favorite pastime among the nobility. The middle section of the print depicts men on horseback, their arms outstretched, attempting to knock rings off each other's helmets with their lances. The joy and camaraderie among the riders are palpable, as they engage in friendly competition. At the bottom of the print, we find a mounted man in full armour, tilting at a ring suspended from a pole. This game, known as 'tilting at the quintain,' required great skill, agility, and precision. The rider would charge at the quintain, attempting to knock the ring off with his lance before it swung back and struck him. The intricate details of the rider's armour and the quintain itself demonstrate the level of craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating these medieval games. Joseph Strutt's "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," from which this image is taken, is a seminal work in the study of English folklore and social history. This lithograph provides a unique window into the world of medieval sports and games, offering a glimpse into the past that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
