Yes, artistic and historic value! There is nothing wrong with pride in our nations, even as we build towards a world where all are happy regardless of their culture or history. God Bless Germany
Even if (as you point out) the objects weren't used for purposes I support, I definitely recognize the fine art and craftsmanship that went into making them.
I am always amazed at the details that went into the making of objects years ago. That attention to details is lacking today. Even a canon, an instrument of war had beautiful details. Thanks for joining Tuesday's Treasures and I hope that you return soon.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if these details for created in a mold. Even so,what an amazing amount of time must have gone into creating it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and beautiful...would like it better if they weren't on weapons, but...one can't have everything! :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of detail work goes into these.
ReplyDeleteNice series!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen such ornate cannons before! Love all the details.
ReplyDeleteAny old canons I've seen before have been plain and black. It's interesting to see artistry like this in a weapon.
ReplyDeleteGerman eagles and American eagles must be from from different species. Someone somewhere must have analyzed the difference.
ReplyDeleteReally nice! I like the raised letters and numbers - so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe desire to decorate everything is now gone. Kind of pity.
ReplyDeleteThe last place I would expect to find impressive artwork like this.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the artwork and eagles are quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful craftsmanship.
