Illustrations are its strength

HISTORY OF CHIVALRY AND ARMOR is predominately a picture book. These illustrations are color and well-drawn, providing that added touch of detail that occasionally gets lost in photographs. There is a short text section that deals with Chivalry, the process of becoming a knight, and armor. A beautiful book.
