EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the formidable Krupps 1000-Pounder Gun, a true marvel of 19th-century technology. Created by an unknown artist, this heavy artillery piece was crafted from strong and durable steel, reflecting the expertise of the German company founded by Friedrich Krupp. The image is taken from "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences", Volume I, written by Captain H M Hozier in 1872. It offers a glimpse into the weaponry used during that era's warfare. Intriguingly captured in black and white, this engraving highlights the sheer power and sophistication of this weapon. The intricate details emphasize its significance as a symbol of military might during that period. As we delve into history through this print collector's item from William Mackenzie in London, we are transported back to a time when metalworking techniques were advancing rapidly. This particular gun serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for more efficient means of defense. While it is important not to mention commercial use or confuse it with the modern-day company bearing the same name, let us appreciate how such technological advancements have shaped our world today. This photograph invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging our ongoing fascination with weapons throughout history.
