This print showcases an exquisite Elizabethan Sword Belt for a Rapier, also referred to as a Carriage or Frog. Published in 1868, this image is part of the renowned book "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress And Equipment". The belt's intricate design and craftsmanship reflect the elegance and sophistication of the 16th and 17th centuries. With its origins deeply rooted in history, this sword belt served as both a functional accessory and a symbol of status. Made specifically for rapiers, it provided a secure carriage for these slender bladed weapons. The term "frog" refers to the looped attachment that held the rapier firmly in place on the wearer's side. The illustration beautifully captures every detail of this remarkable piece. From its ornate buckle adorned with delicate engravings to its finely crafted leather strap, no aspect has been overlooked. This depiction transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also the significance of weaponry during Elizabethan times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact through Ken Welsh's lens, we are reminded of how objects can transcend time and tell stories from bygone eras. Whether displayed as an artistic homage or studied for historical research purposes, this print serves as a testament to our fascination with centuries-old weaponry and their enduring allure.
