Mailed Knight or Crusader
1900 Historical Encyclopedia Print
Mail or maille (also chain mail(le) is a type of armour consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh.
Encased in mail and equipped with lances and swords these early mailed knights are formidable fighting machines.
As Europe emerges from the dark ages, the armored cavalry have begun to employ new tactics, gripping their lances tightly under their arms as they charge, transferring the full momentum of horse and man to the point. Combining heavy armor, a strong warrior ethos, and a devastating charge, they have come to dominate the battlefield.
The home encyclopedias of yesteryear were the most used resource for learning.
These encyclopedias employed illustrators and photographers to create images for their articles.
These images and stories are great pieces of history.

| The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty. |
