Book on Tournaments: Jouster Facing Right

Theobald Senefelder

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a man in full medieval jousting armor facing right. The man wears a large helmet with a visor and plume; his body armor consists of a breastplate and tassets; and he has on armored boots. His right arm is covered in armor and holds a lance; his left arm is covered and holds the reins of a horse. The horse is not fully visible but has a decorative cover with many shields on it. The man and horse are moving to the right; there is a smaller inset illustration of a helmet visor in the upper left. The image is surrounded by a black border on aged off-white paper with darker spots; a block of cursive writing is in the upper right.
