EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Fair and True He Hit the Norman on the Visor" takes us back to a bygone era of chivalry and honor. The illustration, created by Maurice Greiffenhagen in 1924 for Ivanhoe For Boys and Girls, beautifully captures the essence of medieval jousting. In this scene, we witness a thrilling tournament as two knights engage in a fierce joust. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as spectators eagerly watch from the stands. With their eyes fixed on the action, they hold their breaths in anticipation of what's to come. The central focus of the print is an intense moment when one knight strikes his opponent's visor with remarkable accuracy. This act demonstrates not only skill but also fairness - qualities highly valued during those times. Greiffenhagen's attention to detail brings every element to life: from the intricate armor worn by both knights to their determined expressions that reveal unwavering determination. Through his masterful technique, he transports us into this medieval world where bravery and valor reign supreme. This image serves as a reminder of Walter Scott's timeless novel Ivanhoe which inspired generations with its tales of heroism and adventure. It encapsulates an era where knights sought glory through honorable combat while upholding noble ideals. As we gaze upon this extraordinary lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time - reminded once again that true heroes can be found within these pages of history.
