EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts an enthralling scene from the 14th century - the game of tilting at the ring. The image showcases a gallant knight on horseback, fully armored and focused, as he tilts his lance towards a suspended ring. The horse, equally prepared for the contest, leans in, muscles tensed, ready to propel its rider towards victory. Tilting at the ring was a popular pastime during the Middle Ages, particularly in tournaments and jousting events. The objective of the game was to spear the ring suspended from a cord with the tip of a lance while riding at a full gallop. It required a combination of horsemanship, precision, and strength, making it a true test of a knight's abilities. The intricately detailed illustration, taken from Strutt's comprehensive work "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of medieval England. The handcoloured lithograph adds an extra layer of vibrancy and authenticity to the scene, transporting us back in time to the thrilling world of chivalry and courtly games.
