EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, titled "Locksley Stepped to the Appointed Station and Shot his Arrow" we are transported back in time to a medieval world of chivalry and competition. The illustration, created by Maurice Greiffenhagen in 1924 for the book "Ivanhoe For Boys and Girls" retold by Alice Jackson, beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Sir Walter Scott's timeless tale. The scene unfolds with Locksley, an expert archer known for his unmatched skill, stepping confidently towards his appointed station. As onlookers hold their breath in anticipation, he draws back his bowstring with precision. His eyes fixed on the target ahead, Locksley exudes determination and focus as he prepares to release his arrow. This image not only showcases the intensity of a soldier's concentration during a contest but also highlights the spirit of friendly rivalry that often defined medieval competitions. It reminds us of the importance placed on physical prowess and honor during those times. Through Greiffenhagen's masterful use of shading and line work, every detail is meticulously rendered – from each strand of hair blowing in the wind to the intricate folds of Locksley's clothing. This print truly brings to life an iconic moment from Ivanhoe while evoking a sense of nostalgia for historical adventures. As part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its rich storytelling ability. Its enduring appeal lies not only in its connection to literature
