EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Double-Barrel Revolving Flintlock Pocket Pistol, created by Henri Suber in France during the mid-17th century. The pistol is a true testament to European applied arts and stands as an iconic artifact of that era. The intricate design features two barrels, allowing for quick successive shots, making it a formidable weapon on the battlefield. Its flintlock mechanism demonstrates the ingenuity of French firearm engineering at the time. Crafted from steel alloy, wood, and ivory, this pocket pistol embodies both elegance and functionality. Displayed in an art gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago, this historic piece transports viewers back to a time when firearms were not only tools of war but also works of art. The attention to detail and skillful execution by Henri Suber make this pocket pistol a remarkable example of heritage art. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of France's rich cultural history and its contributions to weaponry design. This double-barreled masterpiece serves as a reminder that even in times marked by conflict and warfare, beauty can be found within functional objects like firearms. Through capturing every color and texture with precision, this image allows us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also the historical significance behind such weapons. It serves as a window into 17th-century Europe where innovation met aesthetics in perfect harmony.
