EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts a Green Man from medieval pageants holding a large firework. The Green Man, a popular figure in European folklore and pageantry, is often represented as a man with leaves and vines entwined in his facial features, symbolizing the renewal of life. In this image, the Green Man's wild and untamed appearance is further accentuated by the wreath of leaves and branches that encircles his head. The Green Man's connection to fireworks is intriguing, as fireworks were a popular element of medieval celebrations and pageants. The large firework he holds aloft in this illustration adds an element of excitement and spectacle to the scene. The intricate details of the firework's design, with its swirling patterns and bursts of color, are beautifully rendered in the handcoloured lithograph. This image is taken from Strutt's comprehensive work, "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," which documents various forms of recreation and entertainment in England during the medieval and Tudor periods. The illustration is illuminated with vibrant colors, adding to its visual appeal and historical significance. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into the rich and colorful world of medieval pageantry and the enduring symbolism of the Green Man.
