EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of weaponry from the 16th century - the Halberd. Crafted by the German School, this steel and wood halberd measures an impressive 200.7x25.4 cm and is housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Derived from the German words Halm (a staff) and Barte (an axe), the halberd is a truly unique weapon with a specialized shape and function. Its long pole supports an axe blade for hacking, a spike for thrusting, and a beak that can pierce plate armor or unseat knights from their saddles. This versatile tool was primarily used by shock troops and found popularity among Swiss and German mercenaries. The intricate craftsmanship of this halberd speaks volumes about its historical significance as it represents both military prowess and artistic metalwork. The trefoil motifs adorning its design add elegance to its formidable presence. A gift from Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this particular halberd holds immense cultural value at the Cleveland Museum of Art as it symbolizes warfare tactics during that era. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this awe-inspiring artifact through their lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its functionality but also its aesthetic appeal as an emblematic piece of militaria history.
