1820 Ceremonial Chivalry Garter Heraldry Insignia Knighthood Orders

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, dated 1820, depicts a proud and noble knight clad in the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Established in 1348 by King Edward III, the Order of the Garter is the oldest and most prestigious chivalric order in the United Kingdom. The knight wears the distinctive blue mantle, edged with ermine, and the Tudor rose and garter emblems on his chest. The garter itself, a symbol of honor and loyalty, is worn around his left thigh. The knight's costume is completed with a crimson velvet doublet, hose, and surcoat, adorned with gold lacing and silver buttons. The intricate heraldry on his shield and helmet reflects his family's lineage and achievements. With his sword in hand and a determined expression on his face, the knight embodies the spirit of chivalry and courage. This beautiful work of art, with its rich colors and meticulous detail, offers a glimpse into the ceremonial world of knighthood and the grandeur of the past.
