EDITORS COMMENTS
A Splendid Fit captures the meticulous process of fitting a man with armor in 17th century England. This chromolitho print by Henry Gillard Glindoni, reproduced from an illustration for The Boys Own Paper, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating military attire. In this vibrant image, we see a skilled craftsman working diligently to ensure that every piece of armor fits perfectly on the soldier. The forge glows with heat as molten metal is shaped into protective plates. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate design of each individual piece, highlighting both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The soldier stands tall and proud as he undergoes this transformation. His posture exudes confidence and readiness for battle. As he gazes upon his reflection in a nearby mirror, one can almost sense his anticipation to don this splendid suit of armor and join his fellow troops on the battlefield. This artwork not only celebrates the art of armory but also provides us with a glimpse into the military culture of 17th century England. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill required to equip soldiers for combat during that era. A Splendid Fit invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance captured within its colorful composition.
