During the first half of the 19th century substantial quantities of Oriental and Asiatic arms and armour first began to appear in Britain. On the one hand they certainly reflected the expansion of empire but their wider significance has yet to be discussed. This article seeks to address that omission by exploring the growth of interest in these objects within military circles, what they represented to the individuals who acquired them, and how they fitted into the wider collecting strategies of military officers as a group.

收集东方和亚洲的武器和盔甲:英国和东印度公司官员的活动,c.1800-1850

19 世纪上半叶,大量东方和亚洲的武器和盔甲首次出现在英国。一方面,它们确实反映了帝国的扩张,但它们更广泛的意义还有待讨论。本文试图通过探索军事圈内对这些物品的兴趣增长、它们对获得它们的个人的意义以及它们如何适应更广泛的军官作为一个群体的收藏策略来解决这一遗漏。
