EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Medieval era as we explore the lively scene of combat and excess in the Tilt Yard of Combat a L'Outrance. This photograph, taken in the 1860s, transports us to a bustling London event where men, donned in authentic armor and wielding swords, engage in fierce battles. The Tilt Yard, a popular form of medieval entertainment, was a place where knights and commoners alike could come together to witness and participate in the thrilling spectacle of combat. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of nostalgia for a time long past, where society's rules were momentarily suspended in favor of the raw excitement and adrenaline rush of the fight. The crowd, gathered around the action, watches intently, their faces etched with a mix of awe, excitement, and anticipation. The men in this photograph are not just playing a game, but rather, they are living out a piece of history. The clash of steel against steel, the sound of armor clanging, and the roar of the crowd all contribute to an experience that is both historical and visceral. This photograph, taken by Terry Parker in 1866, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Middle Ages and the human desire to connect with our past. It invites us to imagine ourselves in the shoes of these men, to feel the weight of the armor, the heat of the sun, and the thrill of the fight. The Tilt Yard of Combat a L'Outrance may be a relic of the past, but its spirit lives on in the hearts and minds of those who appreciate the rich history and excess of the medieval era.
