Description

The World's Finest Sporting Guns. Text by Howard L. Blackmore. 'That such a deadly instrument as the firearm should ever be considered as a work of art may seem a strange contradiction in terms to many readers. But by the sixteenth century the well-made firearm had become a much-admired machine, the obvious choice for a gift or an object of prestige. The majority of the pieces which are illustrated or described in this book, once the pride of great collectors like Charles V of Spain, Ferdinand, Archduke of Tyrol, Rudolph II of Austria, Louis XIII and Napoleon I of France, Elizabeth I of Russia, and George IV of Great Britain, are now safely in the national museum. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
