This original linocut print is one of a series by Michael Smith showing the lighter side of his interests in the medieval world.

In Saturday Knight Fever, a knight and his lady take to the dance floor in a fully kitted out medieval hall. The knight himself wears special flared armour on his legs to give the image the full seventies look while the lady wears a full length red dress for maximum appearance.

This print, Saturday Knight Fever, has been designed, cut, and printed by hand by Michael Smith. It is made from four different blocks, with additional colours created as each overlays others in the composition. 

Printmaker Michael Smith has an established reputation for the evocation and creation of medieval romances through printmaking, performance and translation. He has translated and illustrated a number of medieval romances including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and William of Palerne.

The print is hand printed on cotton-based 250 gsm Somerset Velvet on a 19th Century Albion Press in 4 colours, printed from 4 different plates and signed and edition by the artist. Printed area: 8" x 6"; paper size approx twice as much again.
