EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, offers a glimpse into the lively and spirited pastimes of the 14th century. At the heart of the scene, a young girl, dressed in the fashion of the time, executes a graceful backflip with an air of effortless balance and poise. Surrounding her, musicians play their instruments, adding a melodic backdrop to the performance. A drummer strikes his drum with enthusiasm, while a piper skillfully plays his pipe. The intricate details of the musicians' clothing and the girl's flowing garments, as well as the textures of their instruments, are beautifully rendered in the lithograph. This illustration, taken from Strutt's comprehensive work "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," provides a fascinating window into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of medieval England. The interplay of dance, music, and athleticism showcased in this image serves as a testament to the joy and vitality of the people of the time, and continues to captivate and inspire us today.
