EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement for French cartridges from the late 1890s. This page is taken from the extensive trade catalog of Manufacture Francaise d'Armes et Cycles de Saint-Etienne, a renowned French arms and bicycle manufacturer based in Loire. The vibrant and colorful display showcases an array of cartridges, each distinctly marked with different colors denoting various forms of charges, loads, and styles. The intricately decorated cartridges are a sight to behold, with their bold hues and intricate patterns adding an element of elegance and sophistication to the otherwise utilitarian object. The cartridges were designed to cater to the diverse needs of hunters and shooters, with each color representing a specific type of ammunition. The advertisement offers a glimpse into the rich history of firearms and ammunition during the late 19th century. The Manufacture Francaise d'Armes et Cycles de Saint-Etienne was a pioneer in the production of high-quality arms and ammunition, and this advertisement showcases their commitment to innovation and design. The cartridges displayed in the advertisement range from simple, plain designs to ornate, decorative ones, reflecting the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into each piece. The use of color not only made the cartridges visually appealing but also helped shooters quickly identify the type of ammunition they needed for their specific firearms. This advertisement is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the late 19th-century manufacturing industry and provides a fascinating insight into the world of hunting, shooting, and ammunition during this period.
