"Squires: From Medieval Times to Modern Aviation" In the world of aviation, the Hawker Siddeley HS. 125 Series 1B G-AWUF stands tall as a symbol of technological advancement. But let's take a step back in time to c. 1649 and meet Oliver Cromwell, depicted in an oil on canvas painting, who was known for his military prowess. As we delve further into history, we encounter the Avro 652 Anson I N4877 - G-AMDA, an aircraft that played a significant role during World War II. Meanwhile, Gustave Dore's engraving from Don Quixote portrays squires leaving their masters behind. Shifting gears to medieval times, a colorful postcard showcases a young boy dressed in traditional attire while another engraving depicts squires from the years 1500-1515. These images transport us to an era where knights and they were inseparable companions on noble quests. The engravings depicting King John and his son Philip being claimed as prisoners by English Knights and Squires highlight the power dynamics of that period. Additionally, a chromolitho artwork featuring various characters like money lenders and squires offers insight into social hierarchies. Stepping away from historical depictions, we find ourselves captivated by Portrait of King Charles the Bald from the 9th century – showcasing regal elegance through artistry. Finally, The Canterbury Tales' detail captures our attention with its portrayal of "The Squire, " providing glimpses into Chaucer's literary masterpiece set against medieval backdrop. Concluding our journey through time is "The Great Historical Ride in Honor Of Fanfulla" – a vibrant lithograph illustrating how traditions evolve across centuries while still honoring past heroes like Fanfulla amidst modern streetscapes.
