Many thanks for the reply. Is that 1709 dating the style? I think not, so probably 2009 when it was made. I was after the period date that it represents. Thanks anyway, much appreciated. Le loup.
When Robert Weil started collecting images for the Contemporary Makers book in 1973 the challenge to record contemporary gun work was daunting. Gathering material was difficult and time consuming. Few makers thought that there was any value in published documentation of their work. Electronic publishing has changed all that. Having a website or having one's work available to view on the internet is becoming a necessity. In spite of all the potential to finally have a true overview of what's being produced by the artists of today, a great deal of work still remains covered up and basically unknown. Our role is to make an effort to document some portion of what’s going on today. To comment on the established makers and to uncover the unknown. We welcome your comments and suggestions and look to you our readers to make us aware of the talented makers out there. Art and Jan Riser Robert Weil and The Makers
I have not had a reply yet on this blog, so I don't expect one this time either! But it would be nice if you could put a date to these items.
ReplyDeleteThere is 09 by the signature if you look at the photo large.
ReplyDeleteMost items we do not know the date. We try and add info when we know it.
Many thanks for the reply.
