EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a brigandine jacket dating all the way back to A. D. 1560. Published in 1868 as part of "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress and Equipment" this engraving offers us a glimpse into the past. The jacket itself is an exquisite example of medieval armor, meticulously crafted with steel plates lined and riveted together. The oblong shape and fabric covering make it both functional and visually striking. This protective garment was designed to safeguard the body during battle, reflecting the importance placed on personal defense in the sixteenth century. As we admire this historical artifact, we can't help but marvel at its intricate details. The leather material adds durability while also providing flexibility for movement on the battlefield. Padded for extra protection, this brigandine jacket stands as a testament to the ingenuity of armorers from centuries ago. Through this illustration by Ken Welsh, we are transported back in time to an era where weaponry played a vital role in shaping history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements today, there is still much to learn from our ancestors' innovative approaches to self-defense. Whether you're an avid history enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art prints, this image captures not only the beauty but also the significance of medieval armor in preserving lives during times of conflict.
