EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Verico, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1844, captures the essence of medieval chivalry and the thrill of a tournament. Knights on horseback, clad in intricately designed armour and barding, prepare for a jousting competition. Each knight's heraldry is proudly displayed on their shields, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The knights, with their helms lowered, focus intently on their opponents, their lances at the ready. The tension is palpable as they charge towards each other, the clashing of their weapons and the thunderous hooves of their horses adding to the cacophony of the tournament. The romantic and heroic image of knights on horseback in full armour is a popular one, and this engraving is a testament to the enduring appeal of the medieval period. The intricate details of the armour, the horses' powerful muscles, and the knights' determined expressions all contribute to the sense of excitement and adventure that this image evokes. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the engraving, bringing the scene to life and transporting us back in time to the world of medieval tournaments and chivalric duels.
