This facsimile of the illustration accompanying Collier's 1818 patent presents flintlock revolvers in both pistol and rifle configurations. The hand-drawn original shows meticulously detailed components and cutaway diagrams, which are reproduced here from a very high-resolution scan. The sepia tone and period hand-coloured illustrations offer an elegant wall-hanging suitable for any collector or enthusiast, and a useful companion to the book itself. Unlike our author posters, this drawing is presented as a folded, eight-panel (three-fold) sheet in an envelope. Specifications: Approximately 24 inches wide.
*** NOTE: This poster is folded multiple times and ships flat; therefore, it will have permanent creases in it. This is by design.
