Medieval Military Costume contains photographs of spearmen, archers, crossbowmen, gunners and knights, mainly from the period 1300 to 1500. With re-enactors wearing carefully recreated costumes in authentic settings, the book brings the period to vividly to life. Women's costume from the period is covered too, enabling the book to give a snapshot of what it was like to live, work and fight in the Middle Ages. The detail of the photographs is underpinned by artworks showing scores of original images from period paintings, carvings and manuscript illustrations, and the pictures and subjects come from several European countries, such as France, Italy, Germany, Denmark and Switzerland as well as the UK. AUTHOR: Gerry Embleton is a leading figure amongst historical illustrators, and founded his company Time Machine in 1988 to design, create and clothe life-size historical figures in museums. He has also pursued his medieval research through a Swiss-based living history group, whose high standards of authenticity have been endorsed by invitations to collaborate with museums and heritage sites around the world. 160 colour photos. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005793488
