EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-painted copy of a 14th-century tomb effigy showcases Thomas Gifford of Leckhampton, a knight from the latter half of the century. Dressed in a doublet and full armor, complete with shield and sword specific to his knighthood, Gifford exudes power and strength. The attention to detail in this print allows us to appreciate the intricate chain mail, plate armor, and traditional armoured clothing worn by knights during this era. The artist drew inspiration from contemporary manuscripts, paintings, and monuments to create an accurate representation of medieval British attire. This image transports us back in time to the Middle Ages when chivalry reigned supreme. Thomas Gifford's historical significance remains unknown; however, his portrayal here provides insight into the fashion and military equipment used during that period. The combination of Germanic influences on his armor suggests possible connections between England and Germany at that time. Displayed within Costume du Moyen Age's volume 11 published in Brussels in 1847, this print is part of a larger collection documenting various aspects of medieval life. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in European history. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this artwork ensures its longevity for future generations to admire. Whether you are fascinated by knights or simply captivated by historical artistry, this print offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry that was life in the late 14th century.
