EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the pivotal moment when Sir Bedivere fulfills his duty as a loyal knight of the Round Table. With unwavering determination etched upon his face, he stands at the edge of the mystical lake, Excalibur firmly grasped in his hand. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this iconic scene from Henry Gilbert's Stories of the Knights of the Round Table. As Sir Bedivere prepares to cast Excalibur into the depths of the water, we can almost feel the weight of destiny resting upon his shoulders. It is a bittersweet moment; for with this act, he symbolically relinquishes King Arthur's power and brings an end to an era steeped in legend and chivalry. The Lady of the Lake awaits her prized possession with outstretched arms, ready to receive Excalibur back into her watery realm. The shield on Sir Bedivere's arm serves as a reminder that even in times of great turmoil and uncertainty, honor remains steadfast. This image encapsulates not only medieval mythology but also themes such as loyalty, sacrifice, and transition. It transports us back to a time where knights roamed these lands defending justice and upholding noble ideals. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance captured by Walter Crane's skilled hand through color lithography techniques, this first edition print from 1911 holds immense value for collectors seeking timeless pieces that embody both beauty and storytelling prowess.
