EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Continuation of the retinue of the Marquis of Waterford" a stunning artwork by James Henry Nixon. The piece, created in 1839, depicts a scene from the Eglinton Tournament held at Eglinton Castle that same year. The image transports us back to medieval times, with its entourage of chivalric figures on horseback. The Marquis of Waterford, adorned with his prestigious titles including Knight of the Dragon and Viscount Alford, Knight of the Black Lion, leads this grand procession. His noble presence exudes power and authority as he takes part in a jousting event. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures the essence and spirit of this historical moment. Pencil lines blend seamlessly with watercolors and gouache paints, while touches of gold add an opulent touch. Nixon's artwork was initially designed as a preliminary sketch for a lithograph featured in "The Eglinton Tournament" book published by Colnaghi and Puckle in London in 1843. This book aimed to document and celebrate this extraordinary tournament through vivid illustrations drawn on-site by Nixon himself. As we gaze upon this magnificent print, we are transported into an era where chivalry reigned supreme—a time when knights jousted for honor and glory atop their majestic steeds. It serves as both a testament to history's rich tapestry and an exquisite example of artistic craftsmanship that continues to captivate viewers today.
