EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Verico, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, published in Florence in 1847, depicts a pivotal moment in the rich history of chivalry and the English monarchy. The scene captures The Countess of Salisbury in a graceful dance at a grand court ball during the reign of King Edward II (r. 1307-1327). The Countess, dressed in elegant 14th-century attire, has inadvertently lost her garter during the lively dance. In keeping with the traditions of the time, the attentive King Edward II, seated on his throne, reaches out to pick up the fallen garter, symbolizing his recognition of the Countess's grace and beauty. The origin of the Order of the Garter, one of the most ancient and most noble orders of chivalry in England, is rooted in this very moment. According to legend, King Edward II, amused by the incident, declared that he would ensure the Countess's garter was never lost again. He established the Order of the Garter, an exclusive society of knights, to keep the garter securely around the thigh of one of its members. The Order, which still exists today, is a testament to the enduring traditions of chivalry, loyalty, and honor in the English monarchy.
