Colleagues:
I don't know if this is common knowledge or little known, but the
Frazier Museum in Louisville, Kentucky has (or claims to have) on
display Sir Philip Sidney's armor. I also don't know when museum's
started permitting visitors to photograph their collections, but I was
allowed to take these photos of the armor. For your enjoyment or
interest:

I should note that I am not a professional photographer, not by any
means, and these were taken with a Canon digital camera. You will get a
better view of a photo if you click on to its larger size. And finally,
the page makes it look like my photo of the backplate is missing, but if
you click where it's indicated, you will see the backplate.
