"The Knight Errant fending off his foe" showcases our hero's bravery through pen, black ink, and watercolor strokes. In contrast, a Staffordshire ceramic group depicts Nelson's death—a poignant reminder of sacrifice made for country. As we delve deeper into historical representations of this enigmatic figure, "The Presentation of the Knight" takes us back to 1843 with its hand-colored lithograph capturing a momentous ceremony honoring our protagonist's achievements. With pastel on paper mounted on board comes "Saint Georges. " This ethereal piece transports us to c. 1905 while emphasizing our warrior's role as protector against mythical creatures threatening peace. Delving further into symbolism is a set of French seventeenth-century heraldic playing cards from c. 1658—each card intricately engraved with emblems representing different aspects of knighthood.
