Corbould, Edward Henry, 1815-1905 · 1840 · [London] : Hodgson & Graves · 9 pictures

A set of hand-coloured lithographs by Edward Corbould, published in London in 1840 by Hodgson & Graves, recording the Eglinton Tournament, a staged medieval pageant held in Scotland and dedicated to the Earl of Eglinton. The four plates show costumed knights, ladies and onlookers in processions, a grandstand and a joust. For a designer, they offer dense period costume detail, armour and heraldic banners, and the theatrical staging of Gothic Revival spectacle.
