Sharps Rifle c. 1938

Clyde L. Cheney's "Sharps Rifle" (c. 1938) is a detailed technical drawing of a Sharps rifle. It features a side view of the rifle, with two additional close-up views of the mechanism. Cheney was known for his precise renderings of firearms, and this drawing exemplifies his meticulous style. The artwork was created with watercolor on paper and provides an accurate visual record of a significant firearm in American history, the Sharps rifle, a popular choice for hunters and military personnel in the 19th century.
