"Step into the thrilling world of medieval jousting, where two brave riders clash on horseback in a battle for honor and glory. In a woodcut from 1517-18, we witness the intensity of this ancient sport as knights charge towards each other with lances at the ready. The scene is reminiscent of an ivory panel from c. 1320-40, depicting a top panel of a box adorned with a jousting spectacle. Jost Ammon's artwork from 1565 (1849) reveals the wear and tear endured by these valiant knights, showcasing their battle scars and battered armor. Sir Bors and Sir Gareth, immortalized in engravings, exemplify the chivalrous spirit that drives these warriors to face danger head-on. Fast forward to the 19th century, where full ceremonial armor adorns a knight atop his majestic steed. This digitally restored reproduction captures every intricate detail of this magnificent sight. The legend of King Arthur comes alive in illustrations from "The Story of King Arthur and his Knights" (1903). We witness knights engaging in combat before Cameliard as spectators marvel at their skill and bravery. Jousting isn't limited to land; it takes to water too. Boats filled with teams engage in thrilling battles on Paris' River Seine in an exhilarating lithograph from 1906. Even monkeys join in on the action as they compete against each other during water jousts depicted in another lithograph from the same era. An engraving from 1763 showcases knights donning elaborate helmets, crests, and mantlings - symbols of their noble heritage. These images transport us back through time to an era when chivalry was revered above all else. "
