Description

A highly renowned art historian and a specialist in the Middle Ages, J. H. Hefner-Alteneck illustrated and provided the text for this handsome archive of medieval weapons and armor. Drawn with incredible exactitude, the collection depicts richly detailed armor and weaponry dating from the early ninth century to the mid-1700s and includes authentic shields, swords, helmets and ornate suits of body armor for knights and their steeds. An historical sourcebook as significant today as it was when first published over 100 years ago. Unabridged republication of illustrations from Waffen: Ein Beitrag zur historischen Waffenkunde, Verlag von Heinrich Keller, Frankfurt am Main, 1903.
