From the bullet-pocked barriers manned by Libyan rebels at the front line to the armored steel shield protecting an operator, the need for bullet-proof solutions is a stark reality in many parts of the world. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, visited Nottingham, England, where they were undoubtedly grateful for the peace and security that allowed them to enjoy their day out. Yet, even in times of peace, leaders and military personnel require the ultimate protection. Witness the bullet-proof jacket advertised in this litho, or the intricately designed cuirassier armor from Milan or Brescia, ca. 1610-30. And let us not forget the iconic bullet-proof Custom Lincoln Limo once used by JFK. While we may hope for a world where such measures are unnecessary, the importance of bullet-proof technology remains a vital aspect of our safety and security.
