Customer Reviews:
Great images, no descriptions
By A. Matras - January 3, 2008The pictures are indeed good quality and there are lots of them. I think it should be made clear, however, that this is only a book of pictures. There are no captions or explanations of any sort. You will surely see something in here that catches your eye, but will have little idea what it was called or where it was from. On many pages there is a country and time period, but most of the time, there are multiple countries listed with no distinction as to which image relates to the respective country. I was also disappointed in the almost complete lack of images of ancient Roman arms and armor. Middle ages to Renaissance is covered quite well, even some of ancient Greece, but Rome (arguably the greatest military force of all history) goes under-represented with only two small pictures from the Roman republic or empire.
Rarely have I seen such quality!
By TechE - November 17, 2004I consider myself fairly picky about the quality of the images I use in my work. These clipart pictures are truly exceptional! Every single image, even the small helmet shots, are of an exceptionally high level of detail. You sometimes feel like the item is right in front of you. At this price, you would not expect the subtle shadings and hatching to be present in the art or print of the book, but they are there, giving the art a sense of depth that I have not found in other publications (even those in full color). This book provides well over 750 high quality clipart images. There are a very few images that are of a far lower detail, and hence, quality level. But that can be excused by the overwhelming achievement of the artist who produced the overall work of this book. For those looking to verbally depict armor or weapons, the value of this book cannot be over stated - it will inspire page after page with its high level of detail and the obvious inspiration of the smiths of history.
Excellent illustrations; astonishingly horrible organization
By A. Kent-Isaac - October 16, 2010The book opens with an exquisitely detailed illustration of a beautiful cuirassier armour and horse bard which I immediately recognized as having been made for Louis XIII of France, now located at the Musee d'Armee. Every articulation and every rivet of the armour is detailed, every shadow on the steel expertly rendered in cross-hatching.
The caption reads: German (17th century.)
This is a good preview of the rest of the book. Incredible illustrations; totally bizarre, inaccurate, sketchy descriptions.
Each page is scattered with illustrations, usually one or two large central depictions of armours or weapons and then several other assorted pieces of armour or weaponry. Then the caption at the bottom will say something like: "French, German and Italian." There is absolutely no indication of WHICH of the illustrations corresponds to which of those descriptions. It doesn't even say "left to right, top to bottom" or whatever.
