EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Colt Model 1862 Police Revolver, a true symbol of American craftsmanship and ingenuity. Manufactured by Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut and New York around 1868, this stunning firearm represents a pivotal moment in United States history. The revolver's serial number, 38549, signifies its unique identity and historical significance. Crafted from steel with exquisite gold and copper alloy brass accents, it exudes both elegance and power. The intricate handle design adds to its visual appeal while ensuring a firm grip for the user. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection, this piece reflects not only the artistry involved in gun manufacturing but also its role in military warfare during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage and the country's commitment to innovation. Created under Samuel Colt's visionary leadership, this revolver embodies his legacy as an influential figure in firearms development. Its presence evokes thoughts of John Quincy Adams Ward’s sculpture depicting Samuel Colt himself – two pioneers who left an indelible mark on American history. As we admire this photograph print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize how it represents our nation’s past struggles and triumphs.
