Islamic Weapons at V&A Museum

Jim McDougall · 5th July 2009, 06:46 PM

Thank you for sharing the photos of the very nice displays of these impressive weapons Alex. It's good to know they are doing well with maintaining the presence of these fine pieces...I was a bit concerned after Anthony North retired a number of years ago, and I think there was a lull in things for a bit after.
Do you know offhand whether they have published anything new on the collections?
All the best,
Jim

Thank you, Jim
I am not aware of any recent V&A publications. The collection, of course, has many other fascinating items, and the metalware objects are particularly fascinating, and it certainly would be nice to have a comprehensive catalogue or book on the subject.

Just a few more pics; there's never too much of good things ...

Very nice but I think if you keep going my 'puter will short circuit!

I've learned to use a napkin.

Very impressive, and thanks for sharing. I have a copy of the book by Anthony North of the V & A displays, but by the looks of this lot, there needs to be another book published!
