EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases two groundbreaking firearms of their time - the Prussian Needle-Gun and the Snider-Enfield Rifle. The print, now part of a private collection, offers us a fascinating insight into the world of weaponry during this era. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 28,1866. It presents a vertical view that allows us to examine these innovative rifles in detail. On one side, we see the section showing the Snider-Enfield Rifle with its breech-loading mechanism and cartridge set-up. This patterned weapon revolutionized military tactics as it enabled faster reloading times compared to traditional muzzle-loaded rifles.

The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the craftsmanship but also emphasize how these weapons played pivotal roles during significant conflicts like Austro-Prussian War (1864) and revolutions such as those occurring in Europe between 1848 and beyond. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where innovation
