EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1784, showcasing a remarkable collection of arms and armor from the Tower of London. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than NC Goodnight, who skillfully captured various pieces and suits of plate and mail armor in exquisite detail. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to a group of hafted weapons and shields proudly displayed at the top. These formidable weapons evoke a sense of power and strength that were essential on the battlefield during that era. Flanking both sides are several plate chanfrons, designed to protect horses' faces and heads during combat. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this image, allowing us to appreciate these artifacts as if we were transported back in time ourselves. Each piece tells its own story, representing not only the craftsmanship but also the history they have witnessed within their metal frames. Located at Guildhall Library Art Gallery in London, this engraving serves as a testament to centuries-old warfare practices. It reminds us how crucial it was for warriors to don suits of armor like these when engaging in battle. As we gaze upon this print by NC Goodnight, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by the intricate details preserved through time. It's a window into an age where war was fought with honor and valor while highlighting the artistry involved in creating such magnificent weaponry and protection.
