EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcolored copperplate print, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, depicts a bold charge of French cavalry from the 12th century. The riders, dressed in armor that includes helmets, cuirasses, escutcheons bearing gold fleurs-de-lys, gauntlets, cuisses, greaves, and spurs, charge forward with determination and resolve. Their horses, adorned with rich caparisons and saddles, match the regal appearance of their riders. The intricate detail of this engraving allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The riders' helmets, with their distinctive nasal guards and visors, protect their faces from enemy attacks. Their cuirasses, made of interlinked metal plates, shield their chests and abdomens from arrows and lance strikes. The escutcheons on their shields proudly display the fleurs-de-lys, a symbol of the French monarchy. The gauntlets, cuisses, greaves, and spurs are all designed to provide protection and enhance the rider's control over their mount. The cuisses and greaves, made of leather or metal, cover the rider's thighs and shins, respectively. The spurs, attached to the rider's boots, are used to urge the horse forward. This print is taken from "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," a comprehensive work by Massard, Mifliez, and published in Paris in 1834. The detailed and accurate depiction of medieval French costumes and armor makes this print an invaluable resource for historians, costume designers, and anyone interested in the history of fashion and military tactics during the Middle Ages.
