EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Quintain (litho)" takes us back to 19th century England, showcasing a popular pastime of the era. The image captures an illustration from Joseph Strutt's renowned book, "The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England" which was later expanded and corrected by J Charles Cox in 1890. In this historical depiction, we witness a quintain game being played with great enthusiasm. Quintain, a traditional English sport, involved participants attempting to strike a target while riding on horseback. This thrilling activity provided both entertainment and training for knights during medieval times. The lithograph beautifully portrays the excitement and energy surrounding this ancient game. It transports us to a time when such pastimes were cherished as an integral part of English culture. With its intricate details and fine reproductions, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich history of sports in Europe. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder that games have always been an essential aspect of human society - not only providing amusement but also reflecting our cultural heritage. Whether it be in Germany or England or any other corner of the world, these shared experiences unite us across time and borders.
