Treasures of the Royal Armouries is a photographic journey through
Britain's national museum of arms and armour. It reflects the
diversity of the Royal Armouries' collection, which was assembled
over many centuries at the Tower of London and now spans the
ancient world to the present day. At the core of this journey is
the museum's unparalleled group of Tudor armours which derive from
the Greenwich Armoury of Henry VIII, but European swords, paintings
and manuscripts are equally well-represented. Stunning pieces from
Asia are included, as are key items from the national collection of
firearms, started in 1631 by Charles I and now housed at the
National Firearms Centre, as well as larger guns from the National
Artillery Centre at Fort Nelson. Each of the 115 entries tell
compelling stories, tracing the histories of individuals, campaigns
and cultures across millennia. They also consider the place of arms
in an increasingly turbulent world and the new challenges that
technology presents to a modern army. Treasures of the Royal
Armouries is a lavishly illustrated account of some of the most
interesting pieces of arms and armour in existence.
