This volume presents a selection of magnificent arms and armor from various collections in Styria, including the Landeszeughaus in Graz. In addition to the rich and almost exclusively coloured pictorial material, the work contains three specialist essays on the historical significance of the State Armoury in Graz, an overview of the development of European arms and armour in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, and on the relationship of the fine arts to the production of arms and armour in the period mentioned.
