About this sheet

Antique print titled 'A Suit of Genoese Armor, in the possession of Sir Samuel Meyrick K.H.'.

Old print of Genoese armor. The Genoese crossbowmen was a famous military corps of the Middle Ages, which acted both in defense of the Republic of Genoa and as a mercenary force for other Italian or European powers. Armed with crossbows, it fought both on land and in naval battles; notable cases of the latter are the battles of Meloria and Curzola. This print originates from 'A critical inquiry into antient armor as it existed in Europe (..)' by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick.
