EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of medieval weaponry with this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Verico after Giuseppe Bramati from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World. This image transports us to the heart of the 13th century, an era of chivalry, romance, and warfare. The engraving showcases an impressive array of swords, rapiers, and daggers that were commonly used during this period. The first sword, the Braquemard short sword, was a versatile weapon favoured by both infantry and cavalry. The Estocade long sword, number three, was primarily used for thrusting attacks, making it an essential tool for knights in tournaments and battles. The two-handed sword, depicted as number four, was a fearsome weapon that required great strength and skill to wield effectively. The Fourree guardless sword, number five, was a sleek and agile weapon favoured by agile and quick-witted fighters. The Swiss sword, number six, was a distinctive blade with a curved tip, making it an effective tool for both slashing and thrusting. The Spanish sword, number seven, was a versatile weapon with a curved blade, while the dagger, number eight, was an essential sidearm for close combat. The bayonet, number nine, was a relatively new invention at the time, while the saber, number ten, was a curved sword with a sharp edge used for both cutting and thrusting. Lastly, the scimitar, number eleven, was a distinctive curved sword commonly used in the Middle East and North Africa. This exquisite engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval weaponry and the rich history of combat during the 13th century. With its intricate details and vibrant colours, it is a must-have for any history buff, collector, or enthusiast of the Middle Ages.
