EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "The Knight stands watch on St. Georges Mount with the banner of England" we are transported to a bygone era of chivalry and valor. The illustration, taken from Sir Walter Scott's epic novel "The Talisman: A Tale of the Crusaders" brings to life a scene filled with rich historical significance. Perched atop St. Georges Mount, the knight stands tall and resolute, his gaze fixed upon the horizon as he guards England's honor. Clutching the banner of his homeland tightly in one hand, he embodies unwavering loyalty and devotion to his country. At his feet lies Roswal, a majestic stag-hound who faithfully accompanies him on this noble quest. Together they form an unbreakable bond that symbolizes companionship and trust amidst challenging times. This image evokes a sense of vigilance and determination as our hero remains ever watchful in unfamiliar lands during the Third Crusade. His walking stick or cane serves not only as support but also represents wisdom gained through countless battles fought in distant lands. As stars twinkle above them, reminding us of their celestial guidance throughout their journey towards the Holy Land, we are reminded of the heroic characters that emerged from these holy wars - men like Sir Kenneth who embodied bravery and righteousness. Through this remarkable artwork by Simon Harmon Vedder, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes – an enduring testament to humanity's indomitable spirit even amidst tumultuous times.
