EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Parade Halberd, a remarkable piece of weaponry from the bodyguard of Ludwig Rudolf, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Created in 1717 by the German School, this halberd is a true testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the 18th century. Made from blued, etched, and gilded steel, this halberd features an exquisite coat of arms design that symbolizes power and authority. The wooden haft with its original steel base spike adds both functionality and elegance to this impressive weapon. A silk tassel with alternating blue and gold bands completes the ensemble. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact offers a glimpse into history's military traditions. It speaks volumes about Ludwig Rudolf's dedication to his personal security as well as his appreciation for fine art. The intricate engravings on this halberd highlight not only its utilitarian purpose but also its status as a work of art. The attention to detail is evident in every inch – from the delicate etchings on the blade to the meticulously crafted tassel. As we admire this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images through their Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to an era where weapons were not just tools but symbols of prestige and honor. This extraordinary piece serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate both beauty and function in historical artifacts like these.
