EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Arms of Geneva" showcases the rich heraldry and symbolism associated with the city. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the early 20th century, this artwork is part of a set of cards featuring Arms of Foreign Cities published by Willss Cigarettes. The intricate design beautifully captures the essence of Geneva's history and identity. The arms prominently display various elements that represent the city's heritage. A majestic shield stands at the center, adorned with powerful symbols including crossed keys, a key emblematic of St. Peter, who is considered as one of Geneva's patron saints. These keys symbolize authority and power over heaven and earth. Surrounding the shield are intricate details showcasing defensive weaponry such as swords, spears, axes, and shields - all representing Geneva's strong military tradition throughout history. This chromolitho print serves as a visual reminder of how these armaments were crucial for protecting the city from external threats. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to each element depicted on it - from every weapon to every detail within its borders. It serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical documentation capturing Geneva's significance in terms of heraldic traditions. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe and appreciation for both art enthusiasts and those interested in exploring genealogical connections to this iconic Swiss city.
