THE CHURBURG ARMOURY

Presentazione di Claude Blair
Historic Armour and Arms in the Castle of Churburg

So far as I am aware there has never been a publication in which armours of this kind, so well represented at Churburg, have been treated primarily as the works of art that they undoubtedly are. Therefore, this book, which does just that, represents a milestone in the history of armour literature.Its author, Carlo Paggiarino, has the unique qualifications of being both a brilliant, award-winning, photographer and a passionate lover and collector of armour, and so approaches his subject with a sympathy and understanding that has been denied to previous photographers.The results speak for themselves and it gives me great pleasure to introduce them to what I hope will be a wide public.
