Book excerpt: The work "On the Structure and Affinities of the Composite Bow" by Henry Balfour presents the results of research on the oldest composite bow. The author describes in detail the structure of the bows, discusses their origins and tries to determine the path through which the idea of a composite arch spread. This work offers unique descriptions of original arches from the nineteenth century and older. This text may be of interest not only to those interested in early ethnographic research, but also to those who want to build their own composite arch, as it was done in the old days - the work contains a very detailed description of the composite arch and illustrations.
