1. Title: Bar Helmets and Helmets with Spring-supported Panaches from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities" This copperplate engraving, taken from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities Respecting a History of the English Army," published by Stockdale in London in 1812, showcases two intricately designed helmets from the English military history. The first pair of helmets, labeled as Bar Helmet 1 and Bar Helmet 2, are both bar helmets. These helmets, characterized by their visors and crests, were commonly used during the late medieval and early modern periods in Europe. The crests on these helmets are adorned with intricate designs, including the heraldic symbols of the Bar family. The second pair of helmets, labeled as Duke of Monmouth's Helmet 3 and Duke of Monmouth's Helmet 4, are unique in their design. These helmets, also known as bascinets, feature a spring or support mechanism to hold a panache, a tall plume or crest, in place. The Duke of Monmouth, a prominent English nobleman and military leader during the late 17th century, is known to have used such helmets in battle. The addition of the spring mechanism allowed for a more stable and impressive display of the noble's heraldic crest. The meticulously detailed copperplate engraving provides a glimpse into the rich history of English military armor and the intricate designs that adorned the helmets of noble warriors. The engraving also highlights the importance of heraldry in medieval and early modern Europe, as well as the role of helmets in protecting soldiers on the battlefield.
