EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a jousting tournament taking place on London Bridge during the reign of King Richard II in April 1390. The bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, serves as the perfect backdrop for this medieval spectacle, with its arches and towers reflecting in the Thames below. King Richard II, dressed in his royal robes and wearing a crown adorned with precious stones, watches intently from the safety of the bridge's fortified tower. His presence adds an air of grandeur and importance to the event, as the knights on horseback charge towards each other, their lances lowered and ready to strike. Jousting was a popular pastime among the nobility during the Middle Ages, a test of skill and courage that showcased the martial prowess of the knights. Tournaments like this one were often held to celebrate important occasions or to settle disputes between nobles. The print captures the excitement and energy of the scene, with the crowds of onlookers cheering and waving banners in support of their favorite knights. The clash of steel and the thunderous applause fill the air, transporting us back to a time when chivalry and honor were the guiding principles of society. This historical print offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness firsthand the pageantry and spectacle of a jousting tournament on London Bridge during the reign of King Richard II. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped our world, and a testament to the enduring allure of the medieval period.
