About the Item
Title: 19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph Compilation of Medieval Polearms and Weapons
Description: This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph compilation features a striking array of medieval polearms and close-combat weapons, offering a detailed look at the tools of war used during the Middle Ages.
The prints originate from the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums', a celebrated work by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch with historical commentary by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. These pieces serve as a remarkable testament to the craftsmanship and functionality of European medieval weaponry.
The left panel presents a diverse assortment of weapons, including clubs, maces with chain links, halberds, and ornamental spears adorned with red tassels. Each piece is rendered with fine attention to detail, showcasing the decorative flourishes and sturdy construction of these instruments of war.
The right panel focuses on an impressive lineup of halberds and poleaxes, weapons prized for their versatility in battle. The various forms of axe blades, hooks, and spikes demonstrate the ingenuity of medieval blacksmiths in crafting weapons suited for piercing, chopping, and grappling opponents in combat.
The hand-applied coloring enhances the visual appeal, with careful shading that highlights the wood grain of the shafts and the polished sheen of the metal heads.
Condition: Both prints are in excellent condition, with vivid colors and clean margins. Minor signs of age-toning and light foxing are present, consistent with the lithographs' historical character.
This compilation is an ideal addition for collectors of historical weaponry, military history, or fine lithographic art. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the design and evolution of polearms, combining historical accuracy with artistic craftsmanship. Perfect for framing and display in a study, library, or curated collection.
