The image products in our European Medieval Galleries are scanned from prints in a large folio history published in England in the mid 18th century. We purchased all available pages from this heavily damaged book from an antiquarian book dealer many years ago. The book is oversize, and we acquired several incomplete sections. Title page and frontispiece are missing and we cannot identify author(s), date, and publisher but are confident about this approximate age attribution.
The authors of this history copied from a variety of earlier manuscripts. Details of clothing, costume, weapons, armor and accoutrements reveal several centuries of predominantly English history. The earliest subject matter depicts the 12th century, the latest represents the 16th century. Work of the latest artists and illustrators is finely done, figures are detailed and moulded, and dimensional perspective with long range views and vistas is understood.
