This striking black and gold print reproduces one of England’s most famous monumental brasses — the effigy of Sir John d’Abernon, dated 1277, from St. Mary’s Church, Stoke d’Abernon, Surrey. The original brass is among the earliest surviving depictions of a medieval knight, and this print captures its intricate detail and heraldic design in bold, graphic form.
The piece offers the presence of medieval art and English history without the fragility of a true rubbing. Perfect for study walls, libraries, or curated interiors inspired by old-world charm and historical depth.
