EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the sallet war helmet. Dating back to 1450, this medieval headgear was widely used during the fifteenth century for its exceptional protective qualities on the battlefield. The intricate engraving on the helmet is beautifully captured in this illustration from "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress and Equipment" published in 1868. Known by various names such as salade or schaller, the sallet played a crucial role in safeguarding warriors during times of conflict. Its design featured a distinctive shape that covered both the head and neck, providing comprehensive defense against enemy attacks. This particular sallet exemplifies craftsmanship at its finest, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every etching. As we gaze upon this historical artifact through Ken Welsh's lens, we are transported back to an era where chivalry and warfare intertwined. The image serves as a reminder of our ancestors' dedication to protection amidst battlefields filled with danger and uncertainty. Let us appreciate not only the artistry behind this exquisite piece but also acknowledge its significance within military history. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout centuries of conflict.
