EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, depicts a formidable line of French infantry soldiers from the 10th century. The soldiers are dressed in armor and armed with various weapons typical of the medieval period. Each soldier wears a conical helmet with a nasal guard, designed to protect the face and neck from enemy attacks. Their chests are shielded by large, round bucklers, which they hold in their left hands. In their right hands, they wield long pikes, a common weapon used for both offensive and defensive purposes in medieval warfare. The intricate detail of the engraving showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The soldiers are depicted with a sense of discipline and readiness, their stern expressions conveying the gravity of the battlefield. The handcoloring adds a vibrant touch to the print, bringing the soldiers and their armor to life. This print is taken from the book "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" by Massard and Mifliez, published in Paris in 1834. The book was a comprehensive record of French costumes and fashion throughout history, and this print is a testament to the rich and varied history of military attire during the medieval period. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, honor, and warfare. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records, and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
