EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Colt revolver, taken from Edward H Knight's renowned publication, The Practical Dictionary of Mechanics. Dating back to the late 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the world of small arms and weaponry during that era. The Colt revolver, an iconic symbol of American innovation and craftsmanship, is beautifully captured in intricate detail. The photograph transports us to a time when hand-held firearms were rapidly evolving. Its presence evokes thoughts of adventure and danger as we imagine the power it once held in its grip. With New York and London mentioned as the publishing locations, one can't help but wonder about the global reach this dictionary had at that time. Provided by Universal Images Group (UIG), this historical artifact invites us to reflect on how far technology has advanced since then. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity while also highlighting their reliance on such tools for protection or conquest. While it's important not to overlook the potential commercial use restrictions associated with this image, let us appreciate it for what it represents: an emblematic piece from an influential dictionary that documented mechanics and engineering principles over a century ago.
