EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a remarkable piece of historical armor from the first half of the 16th century. The Globose Breastplate with back piece, demi-brassards, and chain is showcased in all its intricate glory. Published in 1868 as part of "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress and Equipment" this print offers a glimpse into the evolution of military protection. The breastplate itself is beautifully crafted, featuring reinforced metal mesh that covers the chest and extends to protect the neck. A chainmail piece adds an extra layer of defense while maintaining flexibility for movement on the battlefield. The accompanying backpiece ensures comprehensive coverage for maximum safety. This suit of armor represents not only a vital component in medieval warfare but also showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship prevalent during this era. It serves as a testament to both form and function, providing essential protection without compromising mobility. As we examine this illustration by Ken Welsh from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when such armaments were crucial for survival on the battlefield. This image invites us to appreciate history's rich tapestry by exploring ancient weaponry and understanding how it shaped societies throughout centuries past.
