Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

How Four Queens Found Sir Lancelot in the Wood

by: Jessie M. King (Artist) , Mme. E. Prioleau (Artist) from: The International Studio (P. 233) -  January 1911
Additional Information:
This image is of an embroidered panel featuring the scene from Arthurian tradition where the four queens — including, according to Thomas Malory's account, Morgan le Fay, the queen of North Galys, the queen of Estlonde, and the queen of the Oute Iles — happen upon the sleeping Lancelot in the forest. Often, they abduct him and attempt to make him choose a lover from among the four of them. The panel was designed by Jessie M. King, and the embroidery work was done by Mme. E. Prioleau.
