Passing of Anthony North , V&A (ret.)

One of the first refernces I bought after I established for myself that my collecting intrest is ethnographic arms and armor was Anhony North's booklet on Islamic arms from the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is indeed very sad news that he is no longer among us.

However, I am optimistic that the study of antique arms and armor will be carried on by scholars from succeeding generations (authors like Elgood and Spring come to mind), and, as Gene aptly pointed out, Mr. North's legacy will live on in the Bibliography sections of new books on the subject.
