EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1844, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and intricate world of medieval European armour and helmets. The image showcases an impressive array of headgear and protective equipment used during the jousting tournaments and chivalric events of the 13th century, during the reign of King Philip II. At the center, a jousting helm with a visor and crest dominates the scene. To its left, the horned helmet of the Earl of Dammartin, adorned with intricate decorative elements, adds an air of regality and power. Nearby, the winged helm of the Constable of Clisson, with its distinctive avian motif, represents the knightly spirit of the era. The royal helm, featuring a tall, flat crown and a visor adorned with fleur-de-lis, symbolizes the majesty and authority of the monarchy. The chainmail hood and cap, with their intricate weaving and protective design, offer a glimpse into the practical side of medieval armour. The image also includes several flat-headed helms, which were popular during this period for their simplicity and effectiveness in protecting the head. The accompanying tunic and armour, though not the focus of the engraving, add to the overall sense of medieval romance and chivalry. This beautifully detailed illustration offers a captivating look into the world of medieval European armour and the rich history of jousting and chivalric events. The meticulous handcolouring and copperplate engraving techniques used by Verico bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to an era of knights, tournaments, and romance.
