Knights Jousting

This delightful lithograph is from Franz Kottenkamp’s History of Chivalry and Ancient Armour. This is the English translation (done by A. Lowy) of Friederich Martin Von Reibisch’s Der Rittersaal… The work was published in London by 1857 by Willis & Sotheran. The originally hand-colored lithographs feature plates of arms and armor used by knights, assault-towers, knights in full armor on horse-back, and jousting scenes.
