EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pikeman's sword from around 1640, believed to be crafted by the English School in the 17th century. Currently housed at the National Army Museum in London, this historical artifact provides insight into the weaponry used during that era. The Pikeman's primary weapon was an impressive five-meter long steel-tipped pike. However, for personal protection, he also carried a simple yet effective sword like the one depicted here. Swords of this nature were mass-produced by both sides during the English Civil War and were also utilized by cavalrymen. Examining this particular example reveals a double-edged blade with a shallow fuller and a grip made of leather-covered wood. The craftsmanship is evident even after all these years, serving as a testament to the skill and dedication of its creators. As we delve into history through art, it is important to appreciate not only grand battles but also individual soldiers who fought on either side. This image allows us to imagine what it must have been like for these brave pikemen as they wielded their swords amidst chaos and danger. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art collection, we can now admire this remarkable piece from centuries ago. Let us remember those who came before us and honor their sacrifices as we explore our rich past through such captivating prints.
