EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt takes us back to the 11th and 12th centuries, offering a glimpse into the world of Norman soldiers in full armor. The print showcases various types of protective gear worn during this era, highlighting their intricate details. In the foreground, we see a soldier donning a nasal helmet and chain-mail armor, ready for battle with his shield and lance. This depiction is based on Harley MS 6064 Y vi, showcasing the attention to historical accuracy in Strutt's work. Adjacent to him stands another warrior clad in mascled (diamond plate) armor lorica from MS Douce 293 f. 13v, with his scabbard tucked inside his hauberk as seen in the Winchester Psalter. Strutt's hand-colored engravings bring these medieval figures to life while providing valuable insights into English history. Published as part of "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" in 1842, this artwork continues to captivate viewers even today. The fine attention to detail exhibited by Strutt transports us back through time, allowing us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also gain an understanding of how these soldiers prepared themselves for warfare during that period. This historic print offers a fascinating window into Norman military culture and serves as a testament to both Strutt's artistic talent and dedication towards preserving England's rich heritage.
