EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Knight, 1290" takes us back to the medieval era. The image showcases a brave knight adorned in a suit of chain mail armor, complete with an iron skull-cap known as a pot-de-fer. This remarkable illustration is extracted from the renowned book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. The knight's attire reflects the military fashion of England during the thirteenth century. His solemn posture suggests that he may be engaged in prayer or contemplation before heading into battle. The intricate details of his armor highlight both its functionality and elegance. Emily Jessie Ashdown, the creator behind this exquisite print, skillfully captures the essence of medieval warfare and religious devotion through her artistry. Her work transports viewers to a time when knights were revered for their chivalry and bravery on the battlefield. This photograph serves as a reminder of Britain's rich history and cultural heritage. It symbolizes not only the strength and resilience of soldiers but also represents an important aspect of English identity during that period. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between centuries, allowing us to appreciate and learn from our past while embracing our present-day realities.
