I does not stress the armour components of medieval dress quite as much as I would have wanted but it is filled with large color photos of models wearing modern replica pieces of armour.

Along with the illustrations, one could see how certain things were made, or fitted, or work that one may have had a hard time visualizing before.

REENACTORS VIEW (16th C): Mediecal - VERY early modern Companie of St. George. Some of it is too early, all of it is inspirational!

Wenn es auch schon etwas älter ist, ich sehe immer noch gerne und oft in das schöne, große Buch hinein und erfreue mich an den guten Photographien und überlegten Texten.
