EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Spur-maker (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and skills of a French spur-maker. The engraving is part of a private collection and was originally created by J Amman in the sixteenth century. The image, digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, beautifully illustrates the artistry involved in creating spurs during the Middle Ages. It serves as an illustration for Paul Lacroix's book "Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages" published around 1890. In this snapshot from history, we catch a glimpse of medieval manufacturing techniques and traditional armor-making processes. The intricate mesh size of plate armor can be observed alongside various armoured clothing pieces displayed in an armoury setting. The presence of soldiers and combat troops further emphasizes the significance of these skilled artisans in equipping armies during that era. From aging knights to conscripts, both male and female soldiers relied on well-crafted spurs to enhance their mobility on horseback or while engaging in combat. As we admire this fine piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, it reminds us not only of our rich historical heritage but also pays tribute to those who dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft within the realm of medieval weaponry.
