EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, taken from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," published in London in 1812 by Stockdale, showcases an intriguing collection of Asiatic armour and weapons. The central focus of the image is a Maratta horseman, proudly brandishing his pair of swords (1 and 2) adorned with intricate designs and ornate hilts. The horseman's shields (3 and 4) display a similar level of detail, with intricate patterns and geometric shapes. To the left of the horseman, an Eastern quiver and bow case (5) are depicted, holding arrows and a bow. A Persian quiver (6) and javelin (7) are also shown, highlighting the diverse range of weapons used in Asian warfare. The Indian Sepoy soldier is seen carrying a distinctive sword (8) with a curved blade and a distinctive hilt. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the military equipment used by various Asian forces during the early 19th century. The intricate designs and ornate details of the armour and weapons showcase the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the time. The image serves as a testament to the complex and dynamic nature of military practices and traditions in Asia during this period, making it an invaluable resource for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.
