EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled 'Sports and Pastimes of the People of England,' depicts various forms of tilting at quintains, a popular medieval game, during the 14th century. The top image showcases a boy, dressed in armor, skillfully operating a moveable quintain, which consists of a wooden post with a shield and a ring. A young boy on horseback, armed with a lance, attempts to spear the ring while galloping towards the quintain. The middle image presents an exciting scene of a boy, also on horseback, tilting against a living quintain. This version of the game involves a man in armor, seated on a stool and holding a shield, who tries to evade the boy's lance as he charges towards him. The boy's determination and the man's agility create a thrilling moment of anticipation and skill. The bottom image illustrates a unique adaptation of the game, with a boy being rowed towards a quintain on water. The quintain, mounted on a platform, is set up on the riverbank. The boy, armed with a lance and a buckler, aims to knock the quintain's shield off its post as he approaches it by boat. The rower, who is also part of the scene, assists in maneuvering the boat closer to the quintain. These images showcase the diversity and excitement of tilting at quintains during the 14th century, a time when such games were an integral part of the social fabric and provided entertainment for the masses. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions of medieval sports and pastimes.
