EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled 'Sports and Pastimes of the People of England,' showcases a vibrant collection of medieval dancers and performers from the 13th and 14th centuries. The top image features a girl gracefully dancing on the shoulders of a bagpiper, both dressed in intricate costumes, as the piper plays his instrument while balancing on stilts. The combination of music, dance, and acrobatics creates an enchanting scene that transports us back in time. Moving on to the middle section, we see a tumbler preparing to leap through a hoop held by two of his companions. The tumbler's focused expression and the anticipation on the faces of his supporters convey the excitement and energy of this daring act. The 14th century was known for its rich tradition of tumbling and acrobatics, which often accompanied festive occasions and celebrations. At the bottom of the print, a posture master is depicted hanging from a pole, demonstrating his incredible strength and flexibility. This contortionist art form was also popular during the medieval period and required immense skill and dedication to master. The intricate details of the performers' costumes and the lively expressions on their faces add to the overall charm of this image. Joseph Strutt's 'Sports and Pastimes of the People of England' is a valuable historical record of the various forms of entertainment that were enjoyed during the medieval period. This handcoloured lithograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of medieval performers and their art, showcasing the joy, skill, and excitement that defined their craft.
