Rifle Butt

Alfred Faust (mentioned on object), 1867

In the 19th century manufacturers gradually began providing their catalogues with photographs. Precision and unadorned realism were the characteristics of the camera best suited to technical products, such as guns. While manufacturers were only interested in illustrating their products as accurately as possible, the photographs in these catalogues nevertheless have a certain beauty, precisely because of their unembellished clarity.
