EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a half armour dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Crafted by the skilled hands of German artisans, this steel masterpiece is an exquisite example of hammered and riveted metalwork. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, this suit of armour consists of various components that come together to form a formidable defense. From the burgonet helmet to the Almain collar, cuirass, short tassets, pauldrons, and vambraces - every element has been meticulously designed to provide maximum protection on the battlefield. The patina on this ancient artefact adds an air of authenticity and character. It bears witness to countless battles fought long ago and serves as a testament to its enduring strength. Each plate in this articulated armour is carefully connected with precision rivets, allowing for flexibility while maintaining durability. The visor completes the ensemble, offering both protection and intimidation. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from centuries past, we are transported back in time - imagining knights clad in such regalia charging into battle or participating in jousting tournaments. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary work of art but also invites us to reflect on our shared human history filled with bravery and valor.
