EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving of "Disappearing Guns" by English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into history and engineering marvels of the past. The image depicts an illustration originally featured in Engineering, An Illustrated Weekly Journal on November 15,1889. It portrays the innovative concept of disappearing guns designed by Sir W. G. Armstrong Mitchell at Elswick. These mechanical wonders were renowned for their ability to fire and load while remaining concealed below protective coverings. In this particular scene, we witness one such gun emerging from its hidden position as it prepares to unleash its power. The attention to detail in the engraving is remarkable; every cog and mechanism is meticulously rendered, capturing both the complexity and elegance of these weapons. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time when engineers pushed boundaries and revolutionized warfare technology. Disappearing guns like these played a significant role in shaping military strategies during that era. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich historical heritage but also highlights human ingenuity at its finest. It invites us to appreciate how advancements in engineering have shaped our world throughout centuries gone by.
