Championship Competition Competitions Joust Quintain Tilting Tournament Parlour Game

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tilting at the Quintain" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of tradition and competition. The image showcases an English School's color lithograph, depicting a thrilling game known as tilting. In this parlour game turned tournament, players engage in joust-like battles against a quintain—a target mounted on a rotating pole. The objective is to strike the quintain with enough force to avoid being hit by its swinging arm. As we gaze upon this illustration from Bubbles edited by Dr Barnardo (1900), we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that filled the air during these matches. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to every detail, highlighting the intensity of each player's determination. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the competitive spirit that has transcended generations. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us of how games have always been an integral part of human culture—bringing people together through friendly rivalry and fostering camaraderie among participants. Whether played for leisure or championship titles, games like tilting at the quintain continue to captivate our imaginations even centuries later. This print invites us into history's playground—a place where skill meets strategy and where champions are born. It serves as both an homage to our ancestors' pastimes and an inspiration for future generations seeking their own moments
