EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Renaud or Bernard, Count of Tonnerre: A Crusader in 12th Century Syria" This striking handcolored copperplate print depicts Renaud or Bernard, Count of Tonnerre, a prominent figure during the Crusades in the 12th century. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," showcases the Count in his full armor, ready for battle in the Syrian landscape. Adorned in chainmail, the Count wears a tunic underneath, which is secured by a belt. His armor is accessorized with a lance, a banderole, a sword, a buckler, and a shield. The lance, held in his right hand, is a symbol of his military prowess and leadership. The banderole, attached to the lance, bears the Count's emblem, likely the emblem of Tonnerre. In his left hand, the Count holds a sword, a common weapon used in medieval warfare. The buckler, a small shield, is slung over his left forearm, providing additional protection. The large, round shield, emblazoned with a cross, is held in front of him, shielding his body from potential attacks. The Count's helmet, adorned with a crest, covers his head, leaving only his eyes visible. His expression is determined, reflecting his readiness for battle. The background of the print shows the rugged terrain of Syria, with palm trees and a distant city, possibly Latakia, in the horizon. This print offers a glimpse into the fashion and history of the medieval period, specifically during the Crusades. It highlights the intricacies of armor design, the importance of heraldry, and the daily life of a Crusader. The meticulous detail in the engraving and the vibrant colors of the handcoloring make this print a captivating piece of art and historical documentation.
