Very lavishly photographed and designed illustrated volume on medieval and renaissance arms and armour from the collections of the Royal British Armouries in Leeds and London (Tower). The individual, exclusively colour photographs are razor-sharp and each fills a complete page or double page. Extreme close-ups make all details, such as forge marks, ornaments and engravings and even surface structures, clearly visible. When looking at the photos, one almost has the feeling of seeing the exhibits in the flesh. A short introductory text informs about the history of the collection. Each of the exhibits shown is explained by a short text.
