EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Suit of Armour created for the esteemed Earl of Leicester during the Elizabethan era. Crafted by the renowned Elizabethan armourer Jacobe Halder, this masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this remarkable garniture, which exemplifies English style and craftsmanship. The greenwich armour's ornate design reflects its purpose as both a functional piece for tournaments and a decorative symbol of status and power. With its exquisite decoration and meticulous attention to detail, this suit of armour transports us back to an era filled with grandeur and splendor. Its regal presence evokes images of noble knights engaging in chivalrous battles on horseback.
