This is a black-and-white photo of a knight in full armor. He’s standing on a round base, holding a sword high in one hand and a shield with a lion on it in the other. The armor looks heavy and detailed, with a cape draped over his shoulders. The photo’s title is *In Shining Armour*, and it was made in the early 1960s. The knight’s pose is dramatic, like he’s ready for battle. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
