US Siege Gun and Krupp Howitzer Mortar Artillery 1910 Antique Print

Original antique print published in Encyclopaedia Britannica in 1910, featuring photographic illustrations of military ordnance on both sides. One side depicts a United States 4.7-inch siege gun in travelling and action positions, clearly showing its large spoked wheels, long carriage, and protective shield. The reverse features a Krupp 11.2-inch howitzer with an imposing shield, an 8.26-inch mortar in travelling and firing positions, and a 3.4-inch automatic gun shown with an operator. Together, these detailed views offer a fascinating comparison of artillery designs and their transport and firing arrangements.

This original encyclopedia leaf measures approximately 8 x 11 inches, with images and identifying captions on both sides. The paper shows age toning, scattered marks, marginal staining, and some edge wear; please examine both photographs for condition details. An interesting reference piece for collectors of military history, artillery, engineering, and antique technical illustrations.
