This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Wheellock Gun of Tschinke Form, Teschen, 1650. Crafted with exquisite skill and precision by an unknown creator in the seventeenth century, this antique firearm is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of European applied arts. The gun's design is truly awe-inspiring, featuring a long ebony barrel adorned with intricate engravings. The combination of ebony horn and ivory accents adds a touch of elegance to its overall appearance.

Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art centre, this artifact offers visitors a glimpse into Europe's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder not only of the continent's turbulent past but also its artistic prowess.
