EDITORS COMMENTS
The somber atmosphere of mourning fills the room as Sir Lancelot, clad in his shining armor, stands by Queen Guenevere's death bed. This poignant illustration captures a pivotal moment from the Arthurian legend, where tragedy and betrayal intertwine. In this mesmerizing print from "Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table" by Beatrice Clay, we witness the aftermath of a heart-wrenching discovery - that the once vibrant queen has passed away. The flickering candles cast an ethereal glow on Lancelot's sorrowful face as he gazes upon his lost love for one last time. The scene takes place within the confines of a nunnery at Almesbury, adding to its solemnity. A nun and an abbess stand nearby, their expressions mirroring Lancelot's grief-stricken countenance. Their presence serves as a reminder that even in times of great myth and legend, human emotions remain universal. Dora Curtis masterfully brings this emotional tableau to life through her lithographic skills. Every stroke conveys raw emotion and captures the essence of each character involved in this tragic tale. As we contemplate this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that even heroes like Sir Lancelot are not immune to pain or loss. It is through these timeless stories that our own humanity is reflected back at us – reminding us that legends may fade but emotions endure throughout history.
