Veiligheidspal van een geweer before 1867

"Veiligheidspal van een geweer" is a black and white photograph by Edouard Magis, depicting a detailed view of a gun mechanism. This image was likely created before 1867 and is part of a larger work on firearms, specifically "Carabines de Guerre Systemes Fougeroux". The small size of the image, measuring 158mm by 96mm, suggests it was intended for close examination and study, possibly for a technical manual. This artwork offers insight into 19th-century gunsmithing and the development of firearm technology.
