EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 showcases an array of Anglo Saxon military figures, each embodying a different aspect of the era's armed forces. The print features three distinct characters: a military officer, a cavalier or mounted soldier, and an infantry man. The first figure depicted is the commanding officer in the royal guard, adorned with a lance and shield. His regal presence exudes authority and power as he stands tall and proud. Next to him is the cavalier or mounted soldier, also equipped with a lance. This horse-mounted warrior represents mobility and agility on the battlefield. With his steed by his side, he embodies strength and readiness for combat. Finally, we see an infantry man wearing a Phrygian cap - a symbol of freedom - raising his lance aggressively. This foot soldier exemplifies bravery and determination as he prepares to defend his land against any threat that may arise. Handcolored with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving brings these historical figures to life. It was created by Robert von Spalart for his renowned work "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages". Through this artwork, we catch glimpses into both the weaponry used during this time period as well as the attire worn by soldiers in battle. The vibrant colors add depth to their stories while reminding us of their significance within British history. Overall, this print serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also as a valuable historical document that sheds light on society's traditions during medieval times in Great Britain.
