EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pair of Blunderbuss pistols, dating back to around 1830. Created by the skilled hands of Durs Egg, a Swiss-born British gunmaker renowned for his flintlock pistols and production of the Ferguson rifle, these pistols are an exquisite example of his craftsmanship. The mixed media composition beautifully captures the intricate details and artistry that went into creating these weapons. The rich colors and textures bring out the elegance and sophistication of each pistol. Blunderbuss pistols were widely used during the 19th century in England, making them an important part of British history. These firearms were known for their wide barrels, which allowed for a wider spread when firing projectiles. They were commonly used by hunters or as self-defense weapons. Displayed in a wooden box with other crates surrounding them, this print provides a glimpse into how these valuable items would have been stored or transported during that era. With its historical significance and artistic appeal, this image serves as a testament to both Durs Egg's exceptional talent as well as the cultural importance placed on weaponry during this time period.
