Mesh size has played a significant role throughout history, as depicted in various artworks and engravings. In an engraving of Archduke Maximilian of Austria visiting an armourer, we catch a glimpse of the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating armor with precise mesh sizes. Similarly, Mr Edwin J Bretts Collection of Armour at the Tudor Exhibition showcases the intricacy and attention to detail required for each piece. Military habits during the 15th and 16th centuries are captured in a vibrant colored engraving, highlighting how mesh size was crucial for protection on the battlefield. Richard the Lionheart's colorful litho portrays him donning armor that undoubtedly relied on carefully selected mesh sizes. The evolution of armor is evident in another colored engraving depicting Armor from the 16th Century. Here, we witness advancements made in mesh sizing techniques to enhance both protection and mobility for warriors. In an oil painting titled A Crusader Battle, artists bring to life medieval warfare where soldiers clad in armors with varying mesh sizes engage fiercely on horseback or foot. The importance placed on selecting appropriate mesh sizes becomes apparent when considering their survival amidst such chaos. Thomas Gifford's contribution cannot be overlooked either; his expertise as an armorer ensured that every knight had precisely fitted armor tailored to their unique measurements while maintaining optimal mesh size proportions. Artistic masterpieces like The Divine Eros Defeats the Earthly Eros by unknown artist c. 1602 demonstrate how even religious themes were not exempt from incorporating intricate details such as accurate mesh sizing into their depictions. Joan of Arc's iconic image shows her wearing armor designed specifically for her needs – a testament to understanding proper fitting and ideal mesh size requirements even during times when women warriors were rare. Italian military costume from the 15th century exemplifies how fashion merged with functionality through meticulously crafted outfits featuring well-thought-out designs including appropriate choices regarding fabric type and corresponding suitable meshes.
