EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giarre and Stanghi, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, published in Florence in 1847, captures the essence of chivalry and pomp during a 15th century knightly tournament. The image depicts several knights on horseback, clad in intricately designed suits of armour, charging towards each other with lances in hand. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation, as the knights prepare to engage in the traditional joust or tilt, a popular form of competition during medieval tournaments. Each knight is accompanied by a herald, bearing the family crest or heraldry, adding to the grandeur and ceremony of the event. Tents and pavilions can be seen in the background, providing shelter for the knights and their entourages. The spear and lance, symbols of power and prowess, are held aloft, ready to be thrust into the opponent's shield or armor. The meticulous detail in the engraving, from the knights' armor to the horses' trappings, highlights the level of craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such spectacles during this era. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of knighthood, a time when valor, honor, and courage were the defining qualities of a true knight.
