Summary

Description

Frontispiece to The Talisman by Walter Scott. Cropped to show printed area cleanly. The same volume also contains a frontispiece to Woodstock.

The caption reads "David Earl of Huntingdon", referring to David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon. In his introduction (dated "1st July 1832"), Scott states: "Prince David of Scotland, who was actually in the host [of Richard the Lionheart on crusade], and was the hero of some very romantic adventurs on his way home, was also pressed into my service, and constitutes one of my dramatis personæ."
