Some more cranequins.
And details of the late Gothic crossbow, ca. 1530, from the Dukes of Brunswick collection, its tiller mostly veneered with natural staghorn plaques; two views of the underside of the tiller, with the long lever trigger taken off. Rare to see details.
And his three latest crossbows, from left: ca. 1530, ca. 1580 and a stone bow, ca. 1650.
Plus two views of a rarely published medieval illumination from the famous de Milemete manuscript, 1326-7, in the Oxford library.
That's all for tonight, folks.
