EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a soldier on horseback during the late 14th and early 15th centuries, utilizing a hand-held bombard. The image is based on a drawing from the manuscript of Marianus Jacobus, featured in Les Merveilles de la Science, published around 1870. The soldier stands out in his impressive armor, showcasing the advancements made in warfare technology during this era. With his firm grip on the handheld bombard, he epitomizes the innovative spirit that drove military developments at that time. Mounted on his majestic steed, both man and horse are ready for battle. The combination of their strength and agility makes them formidable opponents in medieval warfare. This image serves as a testament to the crucial role horses played in combat during this period. The invention of bombards revolutionized warfare by introducing firearms capable of launching projectiles with explosive force. As seen here, soldiers like him were armed with these powerful weapons to gain an upper hand against their enemies. Ken Welsh's engraving beautifully captures not only the technological advancements but also showcases the bond between humans and animals. It reminds us of how horses were not just tools for war but also companions who shared countless battles alongside their riders. This print transports us back to an era where innovation met tradition and highlights humanity's constant pursuit of progress even amidst times of conflict and turmoil.
