렉싱턴 - 피트케언 소령의 권총
1897
Ernest Peixotto’s 1897 illustration brings Revolutionary War history to life with a pair of exquisitely detailed, crossed flintlock pistols belonging to Major John Pitcairn. Notice the incredible craftsmanship: one barrel is crowned by a classical figure lounging on the firing mechanism, while the other is backed by a heraldic shield featuring an eagle and harp, all set against handles covered in intricate scrollwork. These weren't just weapons but status symbols carried by the British major who famously fell at the Battle of Bunker Hill, and Peixotto’s meticulous line work captures every engraved flourish to turn a historical artifact into a captivating study of ornate design.
