EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1423 depicts two crossbow men in action, showcasing the intricate details of medieval armor and weaponry. The man in the foreground is shown stringing a great stirruped crossbow, using his foot to secure it while winding on a moulinet and pulleys. His leather jacket with mamellieres and elbow plates adds an extra layer of protection as he prepares for battle.
Meanwhile, the second man holds a crossbow and helmet, ready to join his comrade in combat. His knee plates or knee guards are visible, highlighting the importance of full-body armor for soldiers during this time period.
The hand-colored lithograph beautifully captures the essence of medieval warfare, bringing to life the skill and precision required to operate such advanced weaponry. Created by Maddocks after an illustration by S.R. Meyrick from "A Critical Inquiry into Antient Armour" by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, this print offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the bravery and ingenuity of those who fought in battles long ago.
Overall, this image is not just a historical artifact but also a testament to human resilience and adaptability in times of conflict. It serves as a visual representation of courage and strength that transcends centuries.
