EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique artifact from the 17th century - a Pellet Crossbow for a Child. Crafted by the German School, this miniature weapon is made of wood, bone inlay, and steel. Weighing only 1.42 kg and measuring approximately 44.30 cm in length, it was specifically designed for young children to enjoy. The crossbow's purpose was to launch small stones or pellets with precision and accuracy. The bow string seen in the image is an accurate replacement, highlighting the craftsmanship that went into preserving this historical piece. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this Pellet Crossbow was generously gifted by John L. Severance. Its intricate design and attention to detail make it an intriguing addition to any collection. As we admire this artifact through Fine Art Finder's photo print, we are transported back in time to witness how children during the 17th century engaged with toys that mirrored adult weaponry. This Pellet Crossbow serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout history.
