Meyrick
This superb hand-coloured engraving is from the 1842 enlarged folio edition of A Critical Inquiry into Antient Armour, as it existed in Europe, particularly in Great Britain from the Norman conquest to the Reigns of King Charles II by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick.
This masterpiece established his reputation as the foremost expert on ancient armour and is still used as a reference to this day. The print is beautifully hand-coloured on white Whatman watermarked paper and many of these prints are lavishly illuminated in gold and silver. Each print is accompanied by a copy of the descriptive text.
