EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a chain mail hood and an example of interlocking chain mail dating back to the 12th century. Published in 1868 as part of "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress and Equipment" this engraving offers us a glimpse into the medieval world. The intricate craftsmanship of the interlocked metal rings is truly awe-inspiring. Every ring meticulously connected to form a protective mesh, serving as armor for warriors during battles in the Middle Ages. This headgear, known as a hood, was an essential component of their defensive weaponry. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported back to AD 1120 when knights donned these chain mail hoods for protection on the battlefield. The image evokes images of chivalrous knights clad in shining armor, ready to defend their honor. This illustration not only captures our imagination but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout time. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people were capable of creating sophisticated tools and weapons using their skills and limited resources. Preserved in private collection today, this rare find allows us to appreciate the artistry behind such ancient armaments while shedding light on an era long past. Thanks to Ken Welsh's meticulous work at Fine Art Finder, we can now admire this extraordinary piece from medieval times with renewed fascination.
