EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Armour, Head-Pieces, etc (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a collection of intricate armor and headpieces. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Charles Boutell's book "A Manual of British Archaeology" published in 1858. The composition presents an array of historical artifacts that were once worn by noble warriors. From brass armor found in Castle Donington Church to the striking headpieces discovered at Wantage Church and Salisbury Cathedral, each piece tells its own story. Notable figures such as Lord Montacute, Sir Hugh Hastings, Sir Ivo Fitz Waryn, Sir John Daubernoun, and many others are associated with these remarkable armaments. The photograph highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating traditional armor with its meticulous attention to detail. Mesh sizes vary across different pieces while plate armor stands out as a symbol of strength and protection. These items served soldiers from various military branches including combat troops from both land and sea forces. As we admire this snapshot into history, it reminds us of the dedication and sacrifice made by those who wore such armor on battlefields centuries ago. It serves as a testament to their bravery and valor while also providing insight into the evolution of warfare attire throughout time.
