About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Swords, Axes, and War Hammers
Description: This finely executed hand-coloured lithograph features an impressive display of medieval and Renaissance bladed weapons and polearms, illustrating both their deadly function and intricate craftsmanship. The plate originates from the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums', a celebrated work by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp that explores the history, arms, and customs of knighthood and European warfare.
The illustration showcases five distinct weapons:
1. A richly ornamented dagger with a decorated blade and golden hilt, reflecting ceremonial or noble use.
2. A long, straight sword with a gilded grip, symbolizing the functional elegance of knightly weaponry.
3. A broad 'battle axe', its curved blade and heavy shaft designed for powerful strikes in close combat.
4. A war hammer, a weapon intended to pierce plate armor with its hammerhead and pointed tip.
5. A massive two-handed sword, featuring a bold crossguard and an elegant wrapped grip, indicative of its role in combat against heavily armored opponents.
The hand-applied colouring emphasizes the weaponry’s textures, from the gleaming steel of the blades to the golden embellishments of the hilts and pommels. The careful shading highlights the fine craftsmanship of these historical arms.
Condition: This lithograph remains in excellent condition, with clean margins, vivid colours, and light toning consistent with its age. The artwork’s fine details are crisp and well-preserved.
This print is a must-have for collectors of historical weaponry, military history, or fine lithographic art. It serves as both an educational reference and a striking decorative piece, ideal for framing and display in a study, library, or curated gallery.
