Hungarian and Highland Broad Sword

Treatise 1798 English United Kingdom

Henry Angelo

R-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-r, source entry 1848.

Gelli preserves the original 1798-1799 London Rowlandson state under the direction of Henry Angelo and Son; the older local 1895 shell was a misdated degraded import.

Castle also records the 1798-1799 London Rowlandson / Angelo Hungarian and Highland Broad Sword witness.

Vigeant 1882 stresses the pictorial interest of the Rowlandson / Angelo album, both for the colouring of the figures and for the picturesque settings in which the sabre movements are shown on foot and on horseback.

Phase 572: Rowlandson corrected from author to illustrator; Henry Angelo established as primary authorial authority.
