EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a prestigious and historic piece of British heritage - the United Kingdom's Order of the Garter: Little Georges. Manufactured by John James Eddington in London, this official model from 1826 is crafted in exquisite gold, standing at a height of 6.2 cm and width of 3.8 cm, with a weight of 30 g. The motto engraved on this honorary decoration reads "Honi est qui mal y pense" which translates to "Shame on him who thinks evil". This powerful phrase embodies the values and principles upheld by those who have been bestowed with this esteemed order. Capturing the essence of chivalry and nobility, this photograph highlights the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating such an emblematic symbol. The image allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its religious connotations as it features Saint George slaying a dragon. Part of a private collection belonging to an anonymous individual, this photograph offers viewers an exclusive glimpse into one aspect of Britain's rich cultural tapestry. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are reminded of the greatness associated with knighthood and how these objects serve as tangible reminders of past achievements. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us reflect upon its meaning within our modern world - reminding ourselves that honor, courage, and integrity still hold immense value today.
