EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of weaponry from the late 1700s to early 1800s in the Balkans. Known as the "Rat-Tailed". Miquelet-Lock Pistol, this steel and silver masterpiece is a testament to European craftsmanship. The overall length of this pistol measures an impressive 53.30 centimeters, with a weight of just over one kilogram. The intricately designed barrel stretches to a length of 34.90 centimeters, while the bore width measures at approximately 1.70 centimeters. Housed in the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact was generously gifted by J. H. Wade. It is worth noting that although this historical treasure lacks its original ramrod accessory, its significance remains undiminished. This photograph captures every minute detail and exquisite feature of the pistol's construction. A symbol of power and military prowess during the eighteenth century, this firearm embodies both elegance and functionality. Its presence evokes images of noble warriors and daring adventurers who once wielded it on distant battlefields. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured not only the physical attributes but also the essence behind this extraordinary work of art through their lens. This image serves as a reminder that even within objects primarily associated with conflict lies undeniable beauty worthy of appreciation for generations to come.
