Thanks Marcokeris for sharing these nice illustrations.
I somehow didn't see them last time I read the books.
Pierre Holstein's classical books are extremely expensive but fortunately they have them in one of the museum libraries here.
The text of the pages I read was only descriptions of the featured weapons, not cultural background etc. But the weapons in his books are all great.
I noticed that all of the illustrations on the these two pages were familiar.
It seems as if he has "ripped" most of the illustrations from Tromp and Hein's works?
