Not on view

This is the title page from a rare series of engravings begun by an enigmatic engraver known only as De Lacollombe. It was added to after his death and then published by his better-known pupil Gilles Demarteau (1722–1776) in about 1749. Individual motifs taken from this pattern book can be seen on guns made throughout the eighteenth century in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.
