EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Lucerne Hammer, a weapon of war from Switzerland dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Crafted with exquisite skill and precision by an unknown creator, this polearm is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of European applied arts during that era. The Lucerne Hammer, made from a sturdy alloy of steel, iron, and wood, was designed for close combat on the battlefield. Its distinctive shape featured a hammerhead adorned with sharp spikes on one side and a long spike at the other end. This versatile weapon allowed warriors to deliver powerful blows while also piercing armor effectively. Displayed in an art gallery within The Art Institute of Chicago, this artifact represents not only Swiss heritage but also serves as a reminder of Europe's rich cultural history. The combination of its functional design and artistic elements make it both historically significant and visually striking. As we admire this relic from centuries past, let us appreciate the unknown artist who poured their skills into creating such an awe-inspiring piece. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the weapons used in warfare during those tumultuous years. It serves as a tangible link between our present-day world and the battles fought long ago on European soil
