EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Fortunino Matania, titled 'Leaves from an artist's sketch book - impressions of some of the figures and incidents at the Royal Tournament, April 16, 1922,' offers a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of this historic event. The image opens with a humorous vignette of Robin Hood and Little John engaging in a quarterstaff display, their playful banter adding a light-hearted touch to the proceedings. Adjacent to Robin Hood and Little John, we find a member of the 1st Life Guards participating in the musical double ride. The horse and rider execute a dazzling performance, their precision and synchrony on full display. Beneath the Life Guard, we witness one of O Battery (the Rocket Troop) of the Royal Horse Artillery showcasing their musical drive. The whirling guns and explosions add an element of thrill and spectacle to the tournament. At the center of the print, the majestic figure of Britannia stands proudly, her trident held high. The Royal Navy, past and present, passes in review before her, paying homage to the long-standing tradition and legacy of the British naval forces. The print concludes with a vignette of the rapier and dagger display, the agility and skill of the performers on full display as they engage in a breathtaking dance of steel. Fortunino Matania's sketches capture the essence of the Royal Tournament, offering a unique and captivating perspective of this grand event.
