EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pair of flintlock duelling pistols, carefully nestled within a luxurious leather travelling case. Created by the English School in the 19th century, these exquisite firearms are now part of a private collection. The pistols, crafted by renowned gunsmith John Manton & Son from London, epitomize the artistry and precision of their time. The close-up shot highlights the intricate details of these contrasting weapons. Their barrels gleam with polished metalwork while their triggers exude an air of anticipation. Without any human presence, this image invites viewers to appreciate the sheer beauty and craftsmanship behind these historic arms. The juxtaposition between the delicate presentation case and powerful weaponry creates an intriguing contradiction.

They embody centuries-old traditions of sport and competition while showcasing the skillful workmanship that went into their creation. Through this studio shot captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to admire these exceptional collectibles from afar.
