EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three exquisite halberds, each with its own unique design and history. The left halberd, crafted in Germany between 1475-1500, displays a perfect blend of steel and wood. In the center, we have a Swiss halberd from the 17th century, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Lastly, on the right side, another Swiss halberd from the same period stands tall. The term "halberd" originates from the German words Halm (a staff) and Barte (an axe). These weapons were not only visually striking but also highly functional. With an axe blade for hacking, a spike for thrusting, and a beak for piercing plate armor or unseating knights from their saddles - these polearms served as indispensable tools for shock troops. Swiss and German mercenaries frequently wielded these powerful weapons during times of warfare. Their specialized shape made them ideal for combat situations that required versatility and precision. Gifted to the Cleveland Museum of Art by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this print immortalizes these historical artifacts that represent centuries of military expertise in Europe. From their metallic gleam to their intricate designs, these halberds are not just symbols of power but also testaments to human ingenuity in creating formidable weaponry.
