EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare artifact from the 16th century, a perforated steel horse muzzle dating back to A. D. 1570. The image is taken from "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress and Equipment" published in 1868, by an anonymous English School artist of the 19th century. The intricate design of this historical piece showcases the ingenuity of armorers during that era. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this metal device served as both protection and control for horses on the battlefield. It provided an essential layer of defense against potential harm while allowing the animal to breathe freely through its perforations. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of military history. This horse muzzle symbolizes not only the evolution of weaponry but also highlights humanity's deep connection with animals in times of conflict. Now preserved within a private collection, it serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient warfare techniques and reminds us how far we have come in terms of equine welfare and modern military equipment. Ken Welsh's expert photography perfectly captures every intricate detail etched into this steel masterpiece. Through his lens, he allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty – a true testament to human craftsmanship throughout centuries past.
