EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the grandeur of a tournament held by the Earl of Warwick. The Dudley brothers - John, Ambrose, and Robert - were prominent figures during King Henry VIII's reign and were known for their active participation in court festivities. The image captures the essence of medieval England with its vibrant display of combat on horseback. Knights clad in shining armor engage in jousting matches, showcasing their skill and bravery. The horses gallop fiercely across the field as spectators gather around, eagerly watching every move. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation as both participants and onlookers revel in this thrilling spectacle. It offers a glimpse into an era where tournaments served not only as entertainment but also as displays of chivalry and honor. Originally featured in Joseph Strutt's renowned publication "Customs, Arms, Habits of the People of England" this historic photograph has been preserved through time to transport us to an age long past. Sir Walter Besant's compilation "Medieval London" brings together such remarkable images that allow us to appreciate Britain's rich heritage. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the enduring fascination with knights, castles, and medieval pageantry that continues to captivate our imagination today.
