EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of weaponry from the 17th century - the Halberd. Crafted with steel, brass, wood, and leather, this halberd is an exquisite example of French craftsmanship. Standing at an impressive height of 239 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. Derived from the German words for staff and axe, the halberd was a formidable weapon used by shock troops during this era. Its unique design featured an axe blade for hacking, a spike for thrusting, and a beak that could pierce plate armor or unseat a knight from his saddle. This versatile tool was particularly favored by Swiss and German mercenaries on the battlefield. The intricate details on this halberd are truly awe-inspiring. From its meticulously crafted metalwork to its imposing pole arm structure, every element exudes strength and power. The addition of masks further enhances its menacing appearance. Gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this extraordinary artifact serves as both a testament to historical warfare techniques and as an artistic masterpiece in itself. With its rich history and undeniable beauty, it continues to captivate viewers with its sheer magnificence.
