Description:
New book, 96 pages, 160+ colour photos. Gerry Embleton, the well-known historical illustrator and writer, has studied primary sources in several countries over the past 20 years. Drawing only on period documents, pictures, statuary, descriptions, enventories and accounts, and the few actual survivals, he presents here a convincing, picture of the ordinary European fighting men - and their womenfolk - of the 14th to 16th centuries. In eleven specially prepared colour plates which ccompare scores of important source images, and more than 160 colour photographs of carefully reconstructed clothing and armour worn by live models, he presents a striking series of glimpses into a lost world - a world more richly colourful and handsomely detailed than the modern reader may have imagined.
