EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Ring In Tilting" takes us back to the medieval era, immersing us in the thrilling world of jousting. Created in 1833 by an unknown artist and featured in Joseph Strutt's book "The Sports and Pastimes of the people of England" this engraving offers a glimpse into the equipment used during jousting practice. Intriguingly detailed, the illustration showcases two essential components: A represents a detached ring from its sheath, while B depicts the sheath with the ring securely attached to a post. These elements were crucial for knights honing their skills in tilting - an integral part of medieval combat training. Transported to a time when chivalry reigned supreme, we witness how these brave warriors prepared themselves for battle. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and authenticity to this nineteenth-century artwork, capturing every intricate detail with precision. "The Ring In Tilting" not only serves as a visual delight but also stands as a testament to our fascination with history. It reminds us of our enduring curiosity about past civilizations and their customs. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to explore centuries-old traditions that continue to captivate our imagination today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us appreciate both its historical significance and its ability to transport us through time – reminding us that even within modernity lies an eternal connection to our ancestral roots.
