EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, titled "Military Antiquities, Respecting a History of the English Army," showcases an impressive collection of ancient weapons from the knights of St. John of Jerusalem, as depicted in Francis Grose's seminal work published in London in 1812 by Stockdale. The engraving features an intricately detailed assemblage of weapons, including three distinct swords: Ancient Two-Handed Sword 1, Ancient Two-Handed Sword 2, and a sword and dagger set (Ancient Sword and Dagger from the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, Sutton at Hone 4 and 5). The knights of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as the Hospitallers, were a medieval Christian military order renowned for their defensive and offensive military prowess. The engraving also showcases two battle-axes (Battle-Axe 6 and 7), which were formidable weapons commonly used in close combat during medieval warfare. Battle-axes were characterized by their heavy heads, often adorned with sharp spikes, designed to inflict maximum damage upon impact. The Dagger 3, displayed in the foreground, is a versatile and deadly weapon, perfect for both thrusting and slashing attacks. Its intricate design, with a curved blade and ornate hilt, speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these ancient weapons. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of military weaponry and the knights who wielded them, providing a fascinating insight into the tactics and strategies employed during medieval warfare. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of these ancient weapons, which continue to captivate and inspire us today.
