EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 depicts Anglo Saxon soldiers in suits of armor, dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries. The artwork showcases two distinct soldiers, each wearing unique attire and weaponry. The first soldier is seen holding a long lance, dressed in a blue cape over a brown tunic that appears to have metal plates attached to the fabric in the skirt. This combination of colors and materials creates an imposing presence on the battlefield. The second soldier wields a lance, long-bow, and shield while donning a tunic made of metal plates resembling fish scales. Over this intricate armor, they wear a bright yellow skirt that adds vibrancy to their overall appearance. Created by an Austrian School artist during the 18th century, this handcolored copperplate engraving is part of Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages collection. It offers viewers insight into the military fashion trends prevalent during this historical period. With its attention to detail and vibrant coloring technique, this print provides us with valuable visual documentation of how Anglo Saxon soldiers presented themselves on ancient battlefields.
