EDITORS COMMENTS
An intriguing collection of ancient dart and arrow heads, showcased in this copperplate engraving from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities Respecting a History of the English Army," published by Stockdale in London in 1812. The engraving, produced by Record, offers a fascinating glimpse into the weaponry of bygone eras. The first eight items in the illustration represent various arrow heads, each unique in design and material. These ancient relics, crafted from a range of materials including brass (no. 9) and iron, would have been essential components of bows and crossbows, weapons that played a pivotal role in warfare for centuries. The ninth and tenth items in the engraving are distinct from the arrow heads. These are dart heads, designed for use with throwing weapons such as javelins or darts. The tenth item, an iron dart head, appears particularly large and robust, suggesting it may have been intended for use with a catapulta or mangonel - large, powerful siege engines commonly employed in medieval warfare. This impressive assemblage of ancient weaponry provides a captivating window into the past, offering insights into the materials, techniques, and strategies employed in warfare during the formative periods of English military history. The intricate detail and precision of the copperplate engraving further enhance our appreciation for these historic artifacts, allowing us to study and learn from the past in a tangible and engaging way.
