The harquebusier, a skilled soldier armed with a harquebus, played a significant role in military history. From the English Horse Exercise to German Costumes in 1600, depictions of these warriors showcase their distinctive attire and weaponry. In the chromolitho from 1500, we see an illustration capturing the essence of a harquebusier. One cannot overlook the importance of protective gear for these soldiers. The Helmet for a Harquebusier, dating back to London or Greenwich around 1630-40, exemplifies their commitment to safety on the battlefield. Marching with precision was crucial for harquebusiers as shown in The Marching Posture Of The Harquebusiers dated 1632. This image is taken from The British Army: Its Origins, Progress And Equipment published in 1868. Historical texts like Military And Religious Life In The Middle Ages by Paul Lacroix provide valuable insights into the life and times of arquebusiers during the 16th century. Etchings such as Harquebusier (c. 1600) further enhance our understanding of their appearance and equipment. These brave soldiers were not limited to European conflicts alone; they also played pivotal roles across continents. For instance, line engravings depict Dauphin Louis troops capturing Dieppe from English forces during the Hundred Years War in August 1443. In North America, Samuel de Champlain led his men against Native American tribes alongside friendly Algonquins at Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain on July 29th, 1609. These encounters are immortalized through various line engravings that highlight Champlain's leadership and the presence of French harquebusiers. The invention of firearms revolutionized warfare forever; one such innovation was showcased through an engraving depicting "the first firearm fired from shoulder" known as a harquebuse circa1616.
