EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dating back to around 1810, captures the raw power and intimidation of a cannon positioned on battlements. The cannon, a symbol of military might and defense, stands tall against the backdrop of a stormy sky, its barrel ominously angled towards the horizon. The intricate details of the cannon's design are on full display, from the intricately carved wooden wheels to the elaborate ironwork of the trunnions and touchhole. The battlements, with their jagged edges and crenellations, add to the sense of fortification and protection, while the ominous clouds gathering overhead hint at the potential for conflict. The 1810s were a time of great upheaval and change, with the Napoleonic Wars raging across Europe and the world. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the military tactics and technologies of the time, and the ever-present threat of war that loomed large over the lives of people during this period. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print is a must-have for any history buff, military enthusiast, or collector of antique prints.
