Ceremony Knighting Miniature Oxford Shield Sword

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the Middle Ages, where a grand knighting ceremony is taking place. The scene depicts a king, adorned in regal attire, performing the sacred act of knighting upon a worthy individual. This line engraving from the 19th century beautifully captures the essence of medieval traditions and customs. The setting for this momentous event is none other than Oxford, England - a city steeped in history and renowned for its prestigious university. The medieval miniature that inspired this engraving adds an authentic touch to the artwork, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship of that era. The focal point of this image lies on the king himself as he bestows honor upon his chosen knight. With sword in hand and shield at his side, he symbolizes both power and protection. Surrounding them are men eagerly observing this royal spectacle; their faces filled with admiration and respect for both king and knight. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection truly transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand one of the most significant ceremonies during medieval times - knighthood. It serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage while also highlighting the importance placed on chivalry and valor by societies long gone but not forgotten.
