EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a wheel-lock from a hunting rifle dating back to the late 17th to early 18th century. Crafted by the Austrian School, this intricate mechanism is made of steel inlaid with gold, adding an ornate touch to its already impressive design. Measuring at 17.2x30.7 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The decoration on this wheel-lock holds great significance as it features the image of the Hapsburg eagle, symbolizing power and nobility. This exquisite detail adds a regal charm to an already decorative piece. The wheel lock itself was a groundbreaking invention during its time, revolutionizing firearms technology. It provided hunters with greater accuracy and ease when firing their rifles. Every element of this hunting rifle exudes elegance and sophistication; from its meticulously crafted mechanical parts to its beautifully adorned exterior. Its presence serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this stunning artifact now stands as a cherished part of the museum's collection, allowing visitors to marvel at both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
