EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative handcoloured copperplate engraving, Sir Ethelbert, a gallant knight clad in shining armor, rides determinedly through the tempestuous night on his courser. The stormy sky above is filled with ominous clouds, casting an eerie glow over the darkened forest. Sir Ethelbert's visage is etched with concern as he searches for his companion, Alan, who has become separated from him on their mountainous journey. The knight's suit of armor, adorned with intricate heraldic designs, gleams in the moonlight, adding an air of chivalry and nobility to the scene. Sir Ethelbert's helmet, complete with plume, protects his head from the elements, while his sword, held firmly in his hand, is ready for any danger that may come his way. Despite the ominous surroundings, there is a sense of comedy and humor in this caricature by Thomas Rowlandson, as evidenced by the comical expression on Sir Ethelbert's face and the exaggerated shape of his horse's ears. The engraving is taken from "The Tournament, or Days of Chivalry," a publication by William Sams in London in 1823. This image offers a glimpse into the romanticized world of medieval knights and their daring exploits, even in the face of adversity.
