Splendeur de l’Armurerie Hongroise

ed. Tibor Kovacs

Bruxelles 1999

A very unique and rare album on Hungarian arms and armour from the 16th-18th centuries.

The book presents 100 carefully selected objects from Hungarian museums. The selection presents the great variety of arms but also it shows the best and most beautiful objects characteristic for this interesting country, which was influenced by Western Europe on one side and Ottoman Orient on the other. This intruguing combination, also characteristic for Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is the strongest visual quality of this book!
