EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Guet," or "The Watch," is a captivating illustration from the March of the Women collection, dated circa 1901, available on Mary Evans Prints Online. This evocative image, created by the renowned French caricaturist Albert Robida (1848-1922), portrays a gallant knight in shining armor. With a proud and confident stance, he places his hands on his hips, gazing intently over the rolling countryside below. The tranquil landscape is dotted with quaint farms and villages, and the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene. In the distant background, the silhouette of a majestic city can be discerned, its towering spires reaching for the heavens. The knight's watchful gaze suggests that he is protecting the land and its people from any potential threats. Robida's masterful use of line, shading, and color imbues the illustration with a sense of timeless beauty and romance. The illustration is reminiscent of the golden age of chivalry, a period when knights were revered for their courage, honor, and loyalty. Robida's "Le Guet" is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a poignant reminder of the enduring appeal of the knight in shining armor, who continues to captivate our imaginations and inspire us to be our best selves. This illustration, "Le Guet," is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Albert Robida and a valuable addition to any collection of historical or artistic prints. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the romantic and heroic world of the knight in shining armor, and a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
