EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Chivalric Pursuit: A 12th Century Sarcophagus Bas-Relief Depicting a Princess and Her Falconer Overseeing the Capture of Wild Men" This bas-relief, carved on a 12th century sarcophagus, presents a scene of chivalry and romance, as depicted in the intricately detailed handcoloured copperplate engraving by Verico from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World." At the center, a regal princess, adorned in elegant medieval attire, sits atop a grand throne. She holds a fan in one hand and gazes intently at the scene unfolding below. Her falconer, standing beside her, is attentively watching the proceedings with a falcon perched on his gloved hand. Beneath the city walls and battlements, knights and ladies in resplendent armor and flowing garments engage in the capture of wild men clad in bearskins. The men, with their unkempt hair and fierce expressions, struggle against the chains that bind them. The knights, determined and steadfast, secure the captives with the help of keys and ropes. The city gate, with its intricate designs and ornate keys, stands open, allowing the procession of knights and ladies to enter. The scene exudes an air of excitement and adventure, as the princess and her entourage oversee the successful conclusion of a chivalric pursuit. This engraving, a masterpiece of 19th century illustration, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval life, filled with chivalry, romance, and the pursuit of the unknown.
