EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of weaponry from the 16th century - the Bardiche, or pole axe. Crafted with precision and skill, this formidable weapon is made of steel, leather, brass, and wood. Standing at an impressive height of 178.5 centimeters and measuring 14.2 centimeters in width, it commands attention with its imposing presence. The Bardiche represents a significant chapter in European military history and serves as a testament to the ingenuity of ancient warfare techniques. Its sleek metallic blade is designed for maximum impact while its sturdy wooden handle provides stability during combat. Housed within the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance to be admired by art enthusiasts worldwide. The intricate metalwork on display exemplifies the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary pole arm through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to an age where battles were fought with honor and valor on vast battlefields across Europe. This image evokes feelings of awe and curiosity about our ancestors' resourcefulness when it came to creating weapons that could both protect and conquer. Let us appreciate this snapshot not only for its historical significance but also for reminding us how far humanity has come since those tumultuous times marked by conflict and strife.
