EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 14th century as we behold the noble figure of a Knight Templar atop his powerful steed. The intricately detailed suit of armor, adorned with the distinctive red cross of the Order, shines brilliantly against the white background. The knight's gauntlets, spurs, and helmet are all finely crafted from steel, protecting him in battle. His tabard, a short tunic worn over his armor, displays the insignia of the Order, while his shield bears a white field, symbolizing purity and innocence. The knight's saddle is elegantly decorated with intricate designs, and his caparison, the covering for his horse's back, is adorned with the same red cross as his armor. The horse itself appears strong and obedient, its mane and tail flowing in the wind. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration from "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the time. The Knight Templar, an elite military order founded in the 12th century, was renowned for its courage and devotion to protecting pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. This image serves as a testament to their legacy and the rich history of the Middle Ages.
