EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in the Arthurian legend as an old man presents Sir Galahad to King Arthur. The painting by Walter Crane beautifully captures the essence of this scene, depicting Galahad taking his rightful place on the vacant seat known as The Siege Perilous. As he sits unharmed, it becomes clear that he is destined to undertake the sacred Quest for the Holy Grail. The image transports us back to a time of chivalry and honor, where knights adorned in armor gathered around the legendary Round Table. Crane's attention to detail brings forth a sense of authenticity and historical accuracy, making us feel like eyewitnesses to this pivotal event. This artwork is part of "Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry". Volume 4 from The Junior Classics series. Published in 1918 by P. F. Collier & Son, New York, it showcases William Patten's careful selection and arrangement of literary works celebrating these iconic figures from medieval literature.

It serves as a testament to Walter Crane's talent as an English artist and illustrator who masterfully brought these stories to life through his paintings.
