EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Prussian Needle-Gun (Breech Open), a remarkable piece of weaponry from the late 19th century. Created by an unknown artist, this engraving is featured in Captain H M Hozier's book "The Franco-Prussian War: its causes, incidents and consequences", Volume I. The image depicts a detailed diagram of the needle gun, revealing its intricate mechanism and concept. This technological marvel was a significant advancement in warfare during that era. The Prussian Needle-Gun played a crucial role in the Franco-Prussian War between 1870 and 1871, where Prussia emerged victorious against France. Sir Henry Montagu Hozier, also known as H. M. Hozier, authored this historical account of the war which shaped European politics for years to come. The print collector William Mackenzie published this volume in London in 1872. As we examine this fascinating artifact today, it serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that propelled military technology forward during times of conflict. The Prussian Needle-Gun stands as an emblematic representation of how advancements in weaponry can shape the outcome of wars fought throughout history.
