Description:
5 volumes. Profusely illustrated from photographs, drawings, old prints, tapestries, etc.; collotype frontispieces in Volumes I & II. (4to) original beige cloth, morocco spine labels. First Edition.
Important, extraordinarily detailed and scholarly study of European arms and armor from the 11th through 17th centuries. Laking was Keeper of the King's Armory, and passed away the year before the publication of the first volume in the work. Accompanied by A Record of Armour Sales 1881-1924, by Francis Henry Cripps-Day (who wrote the prefaces to Vol. II and V of Laking's work). Issued in 1925 from the same publisher, and in the same format as the Laking, it often accompanies the work.
