EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1821 showcases the military costume of the Gothic Nations of the Baltic. Created by Charles Hamilton Smith and engraved by R. Havell, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of these ancient peoples. The image depicts two warriors dressed as Berserkirs, representing the Dane and Sclavonian tribes. On the right stands a formidable Dane, adorned with a skull cap featuring a nasal point, leather breastplate, and fur surcoat. He confidently holds a shield and knife, ready for battle. Beside him stands another warrior wearing a feathered helmet reminiscent of Tatar influence. This figure is believed to represent a Sclavonian tribe member, equipped with a breastplate, spear, blunt sword, and shield. Handcoloured aquatint brings vibrant life to this historical illustration found in Samuel Meyrick's "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of British Islands". The intricate details highlight not only their military attire but also their cultural significance within society. This engraving serves as an invaluable resource for historians studying European history during the 19th century. It provides insight into traditional costumes worn by Gothic Nations on the western coast of the Baltic region. With its meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy, this print transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand how these ancient societies expressed themselves through fashion and military regalia.
