EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century copperplate engraving, titled "Soldier of the time of King James I armed with a Caliver or Arquebus," offers a glimpse into the military attire and weaponry of the English army during the reign of King James I (1603-1625). The image, created by the skilled engraver N.C. Goodnight, is taken from Francis Grose's Military Antiquities, published in London by Stockdale in 1812. The soldier depicted in the engraving wears a typical helmet of the period, adorned with a crest and visor. He is also outfitted with a fuse, a precursor to the matchlock mechanism, which was used to ignite the gunpowder in the musket. The boots and breeches of the musketeer are also depicted in intricate detail, revealing the practical yet stylish nature of military attire during this era. The soldier is armed with a Caliver or Arquebus, a type of musket that was commonly used during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The musket, which is slung over the soldier's shoulder, features a distinctive barrel with a large caliber and a bulky stock. The musketeer is shown in a defensive stance, with his left hand holding the musket's butt and his right hand preparing to prime and fire the weapon. This engraving is a valuable historical record of the military equipment and tactics used during the time of King James I. It provides insight into the daily life of a musketeer and the importance of the English army in maintaining the peace and security of the realm during this period. The intricate details of the engraving serve to transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and skill of the soldiers and engravers of the 17th century.
