This is a phenomenal antique print that is about 100 years old. It depicts the FUSIL NEMROD Rifle or Shotgun made by the Manufacture Française d'Armes et Cycles in Loire. It is described as the French Model (Type francais) as opposed to the English version. This was a famous firearms and bicycle manufacturer at the turn of the century. In 1911 the company was renamed Manufrance.

It is from an extremely RARE and very expensive portfolio of prints produced by a French bicycle and firearms company for their clients in 1909.

The print is high quality and single-sided (blank back). It has lovely curved corners and a gray edging around the picture. It has a tissue overlay on which a lengthy text  (in French) describes letters of recommendations.

About the Manufacture Française d'Armes et CyclesCompany: In 1885, Pierre-Etienne Mimard and Pierre Blachon create Manufacture and invent the “trade catalogue” which consists in presenting the weapons marketed by the company and of the articles for hunter, in order to sell them by correspondence. They make transfer French Manufacture from weapons and cycles to the Fauriel course in 1894 in order to join together workshops and offices.

The page is approx. 7.25x11.25 inches and the actual image size (without margins) is approx. 4.5x7.5 inches, plus an inch of the gray edging..
