This print captures a fascinating scene from the Arthurian legend. Lancelot, one of the renowned Knights of the Round Table, is depicted here in an unusual setting - seated in a cart drawn by a dwarf. The image comes from "The Blue Nile" by Alan Moorhead and can be found on page 305 of Manuscript 805. In this legendary tale, Lancelot is often portrayed as King Arthur's most trusted knight and plays a significant role in numerous victories for the king. However, his affair with Guinevere, Arthur's wife, ultimately leads to the downfall of their court and brings about Arthur's demise. The photo showcases elements that are characteristic of medieval times - knights donning armor and wielding weaponry while mounted on majestic horses. In the background stands a grand castle with towering walls, adding to the sense of historical authenticity. This remarkable visual representation transports us back to the enchanting world of folklore and mythology surrounding King Arthur and his valiant knights. It serves as a reminder not only of Lancelot's pivotal role but also highlights how intricate relationships can shape history itself. With its rich symbolism and evocative imagery, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to delve into British mythology while appreciating Alan Moorhead's meticulous documentation.
