Description
 
Signed By the Author, Fredric A. Harris

The decorative engraving of fine arms and armour is certainly one of man's more ancient arts. Since the time of Homer, and especially during the days of the Renaissance knight, weaponry has provided an important stage upon which to act out the decorative arts. In this important, indeed pioneering work, Dr. Harris has sought out the roots of the metal decorator's art as well as the actual on-the-bench techniques employed in bringing this art into the metal. Coupling the mind and methods of the trained medical research scientist with the special skills of the macro-photographer/photo-micrographer, Dr. Harris leads us visually, rationally and articulately through an artifactual history of the most vital period of American firearms engraving.
