In this comprehensive book, Douglas Tate and master photographer David Grant bring us the most opulent examples of British gun engraving in existence. These handsome guns are from the greatest private collections in Europe and the USA. Tate traces the traditions of British gun engraving from the end of the eighteenth century to today and it shows how national styles, both English and Scottish changed over time. This fine production chronicles the development of Celtic engraving as practised chiefly by Scottish makers, the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement, and the significance of the Indian Maharajas had on British gun ornamentation. A comprehensive list of British engravers with examples of their work rounds out this indispensable and beautifully produced book.
