EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Percival Obtains the Shield of the Beating Heart, 1911" takes us back to the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. The image beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Sir Percival's journey towards becoming a true knight.

Mounted on his noble steed, Sir Percival is depicted as he acquires the legendary Shield of the Beating Heart. This mystical artifact holds great power, symbolizing both chivalry and courage. Through its acquisition, Percival not only learns valuable lessons about honor and virtue but also brings an end to the havoc caused by Sir Balins Dolorous Stroke. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life to every detail - from Percival's shining armor to his majestic horse galloping across a picturesque countryside. The presence of cranes adds an element of gracefulness and tranquility amidst tales of war and warfare. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded that myths and legends have shaped our understanding of bravery throughout centuries.
