EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and opulence of the Garter Feast in St. Georges Hall, Windsor, during the reign of Charles II in 1672. The engraving by Wenceslaus Hollar showcases a momentous event from Elias Ashmole's publication on the Institution, Laws & Ceremonies of the Order of the Garter. At the far end of the hall, King Charles II sits upon his majestic throne, radiating regal authority. To his left stand noble knights adorned in their distinguished armor, embodying chivalry and honor. In the center-left section are heralds announcing this prestigious occasion to all present. Intriguingly, at center-right we witness 22 pensioners carrying an exquisite second course for this extravagant feast. Their presence symbolizes loyalty and service to both king and country. Elias Ashmole himself is depicted within this masterpiece as a testament to his significant contribution towards documenting such remarkable events. The image transports us back in time to an era when royal celebrations were unparalleled spectacles filled with splendor and pageantry. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into one of history's most esteemed orders - The Order of the Garter. This enchanting engraving not only immortalizes this extraordinary banquet but also pays homage to those who have dedicated their lives to upholding principles of knighthood and valor within society.
