| Summary | "British and Foreign Arms & Armour" by Charles Henry Ashdown is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the study of arms and armor from various historical periods, drawing connections between military artifacts and the socio-political contexts in which they were used. Readers can expect a comprehensive examination of weaponry styles, including details on the design, function, and evolution of arms across different cultures. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for Ashdown’s exploration by emphasizing the importance of understanding arms and armor as artifacts that reflect historical struggles, artistry, and development over time. He discusses the significance of heraldry and collectorship in the study of military equipment. The text notes the lack of accessible literature on the subject and aims to simplify complex concepts for beginners, providing a methodical approach to studying different periods of armor, beginning with prehistoric weaponry and the craftsmanship behind early tools and weapons from the Stone Age.
