EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable collection of plate and chain armor dating back to the year 1250. Published in 1868 as part of "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress And Equipment" this image provides a glimpse into the medieval era's protective gear. The photograph captures various forms of armor, including helmets, shields, and body plates intricately crafted with interlocking rings. The mesh-like structure formed by these rings is known as chainmail or maille, which served as an essential defense against enemy attacks during battles. Each piece on display represents the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the thirteenth century. From headgear designed to safeguard warriors' heads to sturdy plate armors that shielded their bodies from harm, these examples exemplify the evolution of weaponry throughout history. The illustration transports us back to an age where knights clad in such protective suits would engage in fierce combat wielding swords and other lethal weapons. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it was for soldiers to have reliable defensive equipment when facing adversaries on the battlefield. Ken Welsh's expertly captured image not only offers insight into medieval warfare but also celebrates the artistry behind creating functional yet visually striking armor pieces. This historical snapshot invites us to appreciate our ancestors' dedication towards developing effective means of protection amidst tumultuous times.
