EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of early types of firearms, offering a glimpse into the evolution of weaponry. Published around 1890 in The National Encyclopaedia, this image captures the historical significance and intricate details of these remarkable arms. The first firearm depicted is the Matchlock, characterized by its distinctive mechanism that ignites the gunpowder upon pulling a trigger. Next in line is the Wheel Lock Arquebus, featuring an innovative wheel lock system for ignition. The Snaphaunce Fowling Piece follows suit with its unique snaphaunce mechanism, while the Flint Fowling Piece boasts a flintlock ignition method. Lastly, we have the Percussion Fowling Piece which utilizes percussion caps to ignite gunpowder. Each firearm displayed exudes craftsmanship and ingenuity from their respective eras. From intricately designed locks to finely crafted barrels and muzzles, these weapons are not only functional but also works of art. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era where these firearms were essential tools for hunting or protection. They serve as reminders of our ancestors' resourcefulness and adaptability when it came to developing new technologies. Ken Welsh's photograph beautifully captures these early types of firearms from The National Encyclopaedia's publication over a century ago. It allows us to appreciate both their historical importance and aesthetic appeal as objects that shaped our understanding of weaponry throughout history.
