Arms of the Paladins: The Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection of Fine Eastern Weapons

For almost 40 years, Richard Wagner has been assembling a remarkable Wunderkammer, that chamber of wonders which was the special passion of Enlightenment rulers whose appreciation for art and learning have become the basis for so many of the best museums in the world today. His collection has been published here using high-resolution photographs and accurate accompanying notes to illustrate the high standards applied to Eastern arms crafting and to their enduring presence.

Color photos throughout. 11 inches x 8.5 inches. Hardcover with dust jacket.
