The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is part of the collection "Illustrations of Mediaeval Costume in England". The image depicts a fierce clash between armored knights on horseback. Their cylindrical helmets and chainmail hoods provide protection as they engage in combat with swords and shields.

This historical artwork offers a glimpse into the warfare tactics and fashion trends prevalent during the Middle Ages. It transports us back to a time when kings ruled and battles were fought for power and honor. The hand-colored copperplate engraving was meticulously crafted by Thomas Anthony Day and J. H.
