Half Lance Pike Weapon Weaponry Weapons


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Spontoons" takes us back in time to the year 1868, when it was published as part of a comprehensive book called "The British Army: Its Origins, Progress And Equipment". The image showcases an array of European weaponry known as spontoons or half pikes, which were widely used by the British Army during that era. In this illustration, we are presented with a collection of finely crafted and ornate weapons. Each spontoon is meticulously designed with a long wooden handle and a sharp metal spearhead at its tip. These formidable weapons were primarily utilized by infantry officers for ceremonial purposes rather than actual combat. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The intricate engravings on each weapon reflect the craftsmanship and elegance associated with military regalia from that period. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable historical insight into the equipment used by the British Army during this significant time in history. Ken Welsh's remarkable talent shines through in capturing these spontoons' essence, making this print an exquisite addition to any art collection or historical enthusiast's display. It serves as a reminder of our rich military heritage and offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic beauty and functional significance behind these unique European weapons.
