EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of hand-colored copperplate engravings depicts the intricate and revered rituals of knighthood as illustrated in Marc Vulson de la Colombière's "Le Vrai Théâtre d'Honneur et de Chevalerie," published in 1648. The engravings, later included in Robert von Spalatar's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages," offer a fascinating glimpse into the ceremonial process of becoming a knight. The first image (358) displays a knight in humble submission as he kneels before his monarch, ready to be dubbed with the sovereign's sword. The squire, standing by with a gleaming sword, poised to strike, symbolizes the transfer of power and responsibility. In the next engraving (359), the squire attaches spurs to the knight's armor, signifying the readiness for battle and the importance of swift and decisive action. The knight's transformation continues in image 360, where women assist in dressing him in his intricately designed armor. This act represents the nurturing and protective aspects of chivalry, as well as the role of women in supporting their knights. Finally, in image 361, the knight takes an oath to the Order on the Bible, pledging loyalty, honor, and devotion. The solemnity of the moment is palpable, as the knight swears to uphold the principles of chivalry and protect the weak. These engravings offer a captivating exploration of the rich history and symbolism of knighthood, providing a window into the past and the enduring allure of chivalric tradition.
