KNIGHTING THE SIRLOIN - A Royal Tradition

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1896 takes us back to the late 17th century, immersing us in a grand feast held within the opulent halls of England's royal court. The image depicts either King Charles II or King James I engaging in a unique and whimsical tradition - knighting the beef, aptly named Sir Loin. The scene is filled with men adorned in extravagant attire, their faces reflecting both awe and amusement as they witness this peculiar ceremony. The king himself stands tall, holding a sword high above his head while bestowing an honor upon this succulent roast that has become synonymous with British cuisine. As we delve into the details of this print, we are reminded not only of the rich history and traditions surrounding royalty but also of the interplay between humans and animals. This engraving offers glimpses into zoology and ornithology through its depiction of pheasants adorning the hall's walls – symbols of beauty and grace. Beyond its artistic value, this image serves as a reminder that even amidst regal splendor, there exists room for lightheartedness and mirth. It captures a moment where culinary delight meets royal pageantry; where kings engage in playful acts that bring joy to those around them. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another fascinating glimpse into our past – an enchanting fusion of biology, history, culture, and gastronomy all
