EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Carocci, after Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," depicts members of the Knights of the Order of Solomon's Temple, also known as the Knights Templar or the Canons of the Holy Sepulchre. The image showcases the distinctive attire of these medieval knights, who were renowned for their devotion to the Holy Land and the protection of Christian pilgrims. The Knights Templar were established in Jerusalem around 1119, during the Crusades, with the purpose of securing safe passage for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. Over time, they evolved into a powerful military and economic force, with extensive lands and holdings throughout Europe. The knights are depicted here in their iconic white mantles, red crosses, and conical helmets, often referred to as "bucklers' helmets." They are shown on horseback, emphasizing their status as equestrian warriors. This illustration serves as a captivating reminder of the rich history and significance of the Knights Templar during the Middle Ages. Their influence extended far beyond the Holy Land, shaping the course of European history and leaving an indelible mark on the Catholic Church and the military orders that followed in their footsteps. The intricate details of the engraving, from the knights' armor to their horses' trappings, offer a glimpse into the world of these holy warriors and the era they inhabited.
