EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of history - phallic drawings from a French sword blade dating back to the 17th century. The intricate engraving, created by the German School in the 17th century, is an intriguing example of humor and satire during the Renaissance era. The illustration comes from "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" (Illustrated History of Manners from Middle Ages to Present) by Eduard Fuchs, published in Munich around 1910. It offers a glimpse into the social customs and artistic expressions prevalent during that time. The image depicts various phallic symbols intricately engraved onto a French sword blade. This playful yet risqué artwork reflects both the craftsmanship of the period as well as its sense of humor. It serves as a reminder that even in more conservative times, people found ways to express their creativity and amusement through unconventional means. This historical artifact not only sheds light on European culture but also highlights how art can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences centuries later. As we admire this unique piece, it reminds us that human expression has always been diverse and multifaceted throughout history.
