EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur" the legendary Lady of the Lake reveals to King Arthur the fabled sword Excalibur. Created by renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley in 1893-94, this stunning lithograph captures a pivotal moment in Arthurian lore. The scene is bathed in an ethereal light that emanates from the mystical lake itself, as if nature itself recognizes the significance of this encounter. The Lady of the Lake stands gracefully on a small island, her flowing gown billowing around her like water. With one hand outstretched towards Arthur and the other holding Excalibur aloft, she exudes an air of power and wisdom. King Arthur kneels before her, his expression a mix of awe and reverence. His armor gleams under the magical glow, symbolizing his noble quest for justice and peace. The intricate details of Art Nouveau style adorn both characters, adding an extra layer of elegance to their already enchanting presence. This print transports us back to a time when chivalry reigned supreme and legends were born. It reminds us of our fascination with tales that transcend time and place – stories that continue to captivate our imaginations even today. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its ability to transport us into another world – a world where honor, bravery, and magic intertwine seamlessly.
