This volume is the first issue of the Journal to be dedicated to an individual upon his retirement: Dr. Helmut Nickel, Curator of Arms and Armor. His tenure at the Museum of nearly thirty years and his prolific and wide-ranging contributions to its scholarly publications make it doubly fitting for Volume 24 to be published in his honor. This volume includes a bibliography of his writings and three of his own articles, as well as twenty-two articles written by colleagues. Many authors have focused on arms and armor, Dr. Nickel's specialty, while others have selected from the vast array of other subjects in which he is knowledgeable. The contents of this volume, therefore, reflect to a large extent the breadth of knowledge and interest of this erudite and gifted man.

325 pages, 400 black-and-white illustrations, 9 in. x 11 3/8 in. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
