We have a longstandingHalloween tradition – never get a decent photo of the costumes we make. That happened on Budster’sfirst year when hewas a garden gnome. For his secondyear, we dressed him in a grand musketeer’s costume, but we only managed one smudgy photo! And to his surprise, he came across a real enemy. A mushroom! Since Daddy told himthat they can sometimes be poisonous, Budster has made it his mission to rid the world of them. Which requires real daring on his part. Our son isn’t afraid of many things, but you can never know what to expect of a mushroom. Marek y Villarino de Brugge, Don André (2022).

The hand cannon was invented in Song Dynasty the 12th century and was in widespread use there in the 13th century. It spread westward across Asia during the 14th century. Arquebusiers and musketeers were employed in the armies of the Ming (1368–1644) [2] and Qing dynasties (1644–1911). Zhao Shizhen's book of 1598 AD, the Shenqipu, contains illustrations of Ottoman Turkish and European musketeers together with detailed diagrams of their muskets. [3] There was also an illustration and description of how the Han people had adopted the Ottoman kneeling position when firing, while favoring the use of European-made muskets. [4] The Han people also built the first repeating firearm: several barrels behind a small wooden shield. The gunman would turn these barrels lighting each barrel with a slow match one by one. These weapons were most effective when fired from walls or high positions. Needham considered this weapon to be a "primitive machine-gun".

The author, Alexandre Dumas, père, based his work on the book Mémoires de Monsieur d'Artagnan, capitaine lieutenant de la première compagnie des Mousquetaires du Roi ( Memoirs of Mister d'Artagnan, lieutenant captain of the first company of the King's Musketeers) by Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (Cologne, 1700), [18] a fictionalized account of the life of Charles de Batz de Castelmore d'Artagnan (c. 1611–1673). Other musketeers served as inspirations for some of the other characters. Isaac de Porthau (1617–1712) was the inspiration for Dumas's character Porthos. Jean-Armand du Peyrer, Comte de Troisville (1598–1672), was fictionalized as Monsieur de Tréville.

We didn’t trouble ourselves much with pants: they were hardly visible, hidden under the long shirt and tall boots, covered with a cloak. But the cloak… The cloak probably took as long as the rest of the costume. It was only fair, it being the focus of the costume. In the book, D’Artagnan fought desperately to earn such acloak, and our work had to be worthy of it as well.
