EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the fascinating testing procedures conducted at the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, London, back in 1886. The image showcases various tests performed on bayonets and cavalry swords, providing a glimpse into the meticulous craftsmanship of these weapons during that era. The engraving highlights eight different tests carried out by skilled artisans. The "Bridge" test for triangular bayonets demonstrates their strength and durability under pressure. The "Curve" test examines the flexibility of sword blades, ensuring they can withstand rigorous combat situations. Meanwhile, the "Striking" test assesses both bayonets and cavalry sword blades for their ability to endure forceful impacts. Additionally, there is a "Twisting" test specifically designed to evaluate the resilience of bayonets when subjected to twisting motions. The two "Vertical Pressure" tests focus on evaluating both sword blades and entire swords for their resistance against vertical forces. This 19th-century engraving not only provides historical insight into weapon manufacturing but also showcases an illustrative technique popular during that time period. Its retro style adds charm and nostalgia to this piece of historic art from Arkheia's Liszt Collection.
