EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Two-handed sword of the State Guard of Julius of Brunswick-Luneburg, dating back to 1574. Crafted by the skilled hands of the German School in the 16th century, this steel weapon stands at an imposing height of 186.1 centimeters and features intricate details made from leather and wire. What sets this sword apart is its distinctive fish-shaped crossbar on the hilt and a crutch-shaped pommel, characteristics that are unique to a large series of swords from that era. Each sword in this collection is not only dated but also numbered for identification purposes. Etched onto the blade between the hilt and edge are Duke Julius' crowned monogram, denoting his ownership, along with the year 1574 and specific number (N 59) assigned to this particular piece. Julius of Brunswick-Luneburg was no ordinary prince; he held significant influence as Prince of Wolfenbüttel during his lifetime (1528-1589). This remarkable artifact serves as a testament to both his power and taste for exquisite weaponry. Now housed within Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this exceptional gift was generously donated by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance. The photograph captures every detail with precision thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving fine art masterpieces like these swords that symbolize warfare's historical significance.
