EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Verico, after A. Monticelli, depicts an exhilarating scene from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. The image transports us back to the medieval era, where knights in meticulously crafted jousting armour prepare for a duel at a grand tournament. The knights, proudly seated atop their powerful horses, don intricately designed suits of barding. Their armour, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, is adorned with elaborate patterns and rich colours. Shields and lances stand ready, as the knights focus intently on their opponents across the tilt yard. The atmosphere is thick with the anticipation and excitement of the joust. Spectators, dressed in their finest medieval attire, gather around the perimeter of the arena, their faces filled with awe and admiration for the chivalrous display before them. The air is filled with the scent of horseflesh, sweat, and the faint aroma of roasting meats and ale from the nearby tents. The scene is a beautiful representation of the romance and pageantry associated with the medieval period. The knights, embodying the spirit of chivalry, engage in a duel of skill and honour, their horses thundering across the tilt yard in a thrilling display of strength and agility. The image, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of knights, jousts, and the enduring allure of the medieval world.
