EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century image, a copperplate engraving by N.C. Goodnight from Francis Grose's Military Antiquities, showcases the intricate and impressive arms, armour, and accoutrements of a horsemans preparation for a tournament or cavalry engagement. The central focus of the print is the rider's protective headgear, a cask helmet, which features a rounded, barrel-shaped design with a visor and a neck guard. The rider's upper body is shielded by a pouldron, a large, curved piece of armour that covers the chest and shoulders. The vambrace, a protective sleeve for the lower arm, is also visible. Additional protective pieces include the gorget, a plate that protects the throat, and the guard de reine, a breastplate that covers the heart. The rider is depicted carrying a pistol in his right hand, a spanner for maintaining his weapon at the ready, and a lance in the crook of his left arm. The saddle and the lance are also shown, emphasizing the rider's readiness for combat. The detailed engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the elaborate and meticulously crafted equipment used by knights and cavalrymen during this era. The image, taken from Francis Grose's Military Antiquities, published in London in 1812, is a testament to the rich history of military traditions and the artistry of the time.
