EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the medieval era, where warfare was dominated by powerful weapons like bombards on fixed and rolling carriages. The wood engraving, sourced from a medieval manuscript in the Bibliotheque Imperiale, Paris, is an illustration featured in Paul Lacroix's renowned book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" (London, 1870). The image showcases a concept that epitomizes war during this time - cannons mounted on sturdy wheels ready for battle. These bombards were formidable armaments that played a crucial role in shaping history. With their immense power and range, they revolutionized military strategies and sieges. Intricately detailed yet monochrome, this print transports us to an era when these weapons were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of how technology has evolved over centuries but also highlights the ingenuity of our ancestors who developed such sophisticated weaponry. As we admire this historical artifact captured by Paul Lacroix and created by an unknown artist, we are reminded of the significance of preserving our past through art. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its educational importance in understanding warfare during the Middle Ages.
