This exhibition catalogue chronicles a remarkable assemblage of Arms and Armour, presenting objects of both martial purpose and supreme artistic achievement drawn from one of the world's greatest collections of its kind. Compiled for a touring North American exhibition that visited venues including the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon and the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio, the volume presents each piece with authoritative detail and scholarly precision.\n\nAuthored by A.V.B. Norman and G.H. Wilson, two of the foremost authorities on historic arms and armour, the catalogue argues convincingly that these objects transcend their function as instruments of war, standing instead as masterworks of Renaissance and medieval craftsmanship that illuminate the political and cultural ambitions of the monarchs who commissioned them. The text pairs rigorous scholarship with an accessible narrative voice, making it an indispensable reference for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts alike. For anyone captivated by the intersection of power, artistry, and history, this volume poses an irresistible question: what other secrets do the Tower's arsenals still hold?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50620323070171,"sku":"2026200018520-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e2d6553c-a6c7-4da4-ab53-778fe715d105.png?v=1791873267","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018520-secondhand-treasures-from-the-tower-of-london-an-exhibition-of-arms-and-armour","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
