"When Knighthood Was in Flower"

A Noble Vintage Reproduction for Lovers of Romance, Chivalry, and Couture

Let us begin, if you please, with a declaration: this is no mere page. This is an ode to courtly love, captured in ink and pigment, fluttering with silks and whispers of autumn leaves.

A pair of young aristocrats—he with the brooding gaze of Byron, she with the porcelain cheek and a plume befitting Versailles—stand entwined beneath a canopy of ivy, lost in one another. At their feet, a majestic Borzoi stands sentinel, the embodiment of elegance and loyalty. In the shadows behind, a jester peers on, half-curious, half-heartbroken, playing the eternal fool in this grand masque of affection.

Rendered with the delicate hand of Nell Brinkley, this work is a triumph of softness and splendour:

• Fine detailing in lace, brocade, and embroidered sashes

• Petal-soft watercolours that give life to love

• An archway that echoes the Gothic revival, beckoning you into another age

This is storybook romance in visual form, and it is nothing short of theatrical.
