Rest your eyes upon this lovely example of the gunmaker's art:

It is said that such carictatures, with regard to fauna, were due to the engraver having precious little to go on in the way of information (no photographs, no moving images, no detailed record of form, only an approximation). Well, as for me, I quite happen to like the characterization as it speaks to interpretation (and, what is art, if not?). Mark my word, the new trend in firearms engraving will be such a manifestation. All is ripe for such a movement, all.
