EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts a medieval tumbler preparing to leap through a hoop held aloft by two of his fellow performers. The 14th century scene is taken from Strutt's comprehensive work, "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England." The tumbler, dressed in a simple tunic and hose, focuses intently on the hoop, his expression a blend of determination and anticipation. The two hoop holders, equally attired, brace themselves, their faces a study in concentration. The coat, which the tumbler wears, is spread out beneath the hoop, providing a soft landing for the acrobat's daring jump. This intriguing illustration offers a glimpse into the world of medieval games and sports, where physical prowess and agility were celebrated. The illuminated manuscript-style detail and vibrant colours bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era of bravery, skill, and communal entertainment.
