EDITORS COMMENTS
In this litho print, we witness a pivotal moment in Arthurian legend as King Arthur bestows his legendary sword Excalibur upon Sir Bedivere. The artwork, created by Dora Curtis around the late 19th to early 20th century, beautifully captures the essence of this iconic tale. The scene is filled with an air of solemnity and significance. Bathed in ethereal light, King Arthur stands tall and regal, his face marked with both determination and resignation. With outstretched arms, he presents Excalibur to Sir Bedivere, his most trusted knight. The weight of responsibility hangs heavy in the air as Arthur passes on not just a weapon but a symbol of power and authority. Sir Bedivere receives the sword with reverence and awe etched across his face. His eyes reflect both gratitude for being chosen for such an honor and trepidation at the immense task that lies ahead. This lithograph was originally commissioned as an illustration for "Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table" by Beatrice Clay in 1905. It serves as a visual representation of one of the most enduring tales from Arthurian mythology - a story steeped in heroism, sacrifice, and destiny. Through this evocative print by Dora Curtis, we are transported into a world where legends come alive. It reminds us that even great leaders must pass on their legacy to ensure its continuation – a poignant reminder that all stories eventually reach their end while leaving behind
