EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Miquelet Lock, dating back to the late 18th century. Crafted from steel, this remarkable piece of weaponry is a testament to the artistry and skill of its creator, Domingo Gabiola. Measuring at approximately 11.60 cm in height and 9.60 cm in width, it is now housed within the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Miquelet Lock features an engraved design that adds a touch of elegance to its functional purpose as a trigger mechanism for firearms such as rifles. Its snaplock mechanism was commonly used during hunting expeditions, allowing hunters to swiftly fire their weapons with precision and accuracy. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued. The meticulous engravings on the lock serve not only as decorative elements but also reflect the dedication and passion poured into creating such a masterpiece. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance's generous gift, this Spanish artifact has found its rightful place within the museum's collection for all visitors to admire and appreciate its historical significance. In capturing this image through Bridgeman Images' lens, Fine Art Finder allows us to marvel at both the artistic brilliance behind this Miquelet Lock and our shared human history intertwined with weaponry innovation throughout centuries past.
