EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Sir Ethelbert fighting Alan disguised as a Monk," depicts an intense moment from the Medieval era as a knight in a suit of gleaming armour engages in a clandestine duel with a monk. The intricate details of the knight's heraldry are on full display, his shield emblazoned with the image of a lady and the letters "A.D.E.", likely representing his loyalty to Lady Adelaide. The monk, cunningly disguised in the robes of his order, attempts to outwit his adversary with a concealed knife. The scene unfolds amidst the excitement of a tournament or "Days of Chivalry," as depicted in the 1823 publication "The Tournament, or Days of Chivalry" by William Sams. Thomas Rowlandson's illustration masterfully captures the tension and drama of the moment, with the knight delivering a powerful punch to the monk, who reels back in surprise and pain. The horses in the background add to the sense of motion and energy, further emphasizing the intensity of the duel. The intricate lines and shading of the engraving, combined with the vibrant handcolouring, create a stunning visual representation of the Medieval world, transporting us back in time to an era of chivalry, honour, and intrigue.
