1. Title: "A 13th Century Infantry Sergeant: An Exemplar of Medieval Military Fashion and Combat Gear" This handcolored copperplate print, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," showcases an infantry sergeant from the 13th century. The meticulously detailed image offers an intriguing glimpse into the appearance and equipment of a medieval soldier during this era. The infantry sergeant is depicted wearing a jaque, a long-sleeved, high-necked tunic, typically made of wool, that was a common garment for the lower classes during this time. Over the tunic, he wears a steel corselet, a protective armor vest, which would have been essential for battle. The bodice, a fitted garment that covers the chest and abdomen, is also visible beneath the corselet. The sergeant's head is crowned with a conical hat, a typical headgear for infantry soldiers during the Middle Ages. He wears a cravat, a long, narrow fabric tied around the neck, which was a common accessory during this period. His legs are encased in poulaines, high, pointed shoes that were popular among the nobility and soldiers alike. The sergeant's arms are adorned with a dagger and a misericorde, a type of short sword with a hooked tip, which was used for grappling or dismounting horses. The scabbard, which is worn diagonally across the body, is intricately decorated with various designs. This print offers a fascinating insight into the fashion and combat gear of a 13th-century infantry sergeant, providing a captivating window into the rich history of medieval military attire.
