EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Casque of King James II, a historical artifact that represents the grandeur and power of the British monarchy. Published in 1868 as part of "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress and Equipment" this engraving provides a glimpse into the seventeenth-century England. The casque features cheek pieces and a perforated steel visor adorned with the Royal Arms, symbolizing the authority and prestige associated with royalty. Below these royal emblems, delicate scroll work depicting thistles adds an elegant touch to this piece of armor. With its visored design, this helmet served as protective headwear for King James II during his reign. The attention to detail in its construction highlights both functionality and aesthetics, showcasing how armor could be both practical and visually striking. As we admire this illustration from centuries past, it transports us back to a time when weaponry played a crucial role in history. This casque is not just an ordinary helmet; it represents an era filled with political intrigue, military prowess, and cultural significance. Thanks to Ken Welsh's expertise in capturing fine art prints like these, we can appreciate the beauty of historical artifacts such as this Casque of King James II. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage while also reminding us that even objects designed for protection can be works of art themselves.
