Two volumes of a photographic study of American longrifles. It includes Volume 1, 2nd Edition in color and Volume 2, 1st Edition in black and white.

Volume One:

This is an extensive photographic study of American longrifles made in the colonial period, the Revolutionary period, and the post-Revolutionary years before the Federal Period. For each of the 139 rifles treated there are ten or more detailed photographs. A description of each rifle accompanies the illustrations, and many important dimensions are given. The text is concerned with the complex subject of the evolution of the baroque and rococo art that adorns it. Annontated 2nd edition in 2024 with color photos and added rifles.

About this second edition:

In 1980, George Shumway published the first of his monumental, two volume Rifles of Colonial America. This in-depth look at rifles and gunmaking in early America brought together George's "painted light" photographs of many rifles with what was known about individual gunmakers and regional "schools" or styles of work. It was George's wish that the books would encourage further research and bring to light additional early rifles. This new edition helps to further that goal.

CCTP Publishing and George Shumway Publisher have collaborated to produce this revised and expanded edition, with a substantial number of the rifles re-photographed in color. Access to rifles and photographs from organization, auction houses, museums, and private collectors made this possible, and the latest photographic and printing technologies were applied. Where color photographs of rifles were not available, black and white originals were scanned and enhanced for improved quality.

Significant new research has also been added, along with ten previously unknown or unpublished rifles, also in full color.

Volume Two:

This is an extensive photographic study of American longrifles made in the colonial period, the Revolutionary period, and the post-Revolutionary years before the Federal Period. For each of the 139 rifles treated there are ten or more detailed photographs. A description of each rifle accompanies the illustrations, and many important dimensions are given. The text is concerned with the complex subject of the evolution of the baroque and rococo art that adorns it. Reprinted in 2002 in two volumes.

Wrapped in luxury
Color: Cream (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Twin (60" x 80")
I went through a lot of faux fur throws and blankets to find this gem. It’s double sided fur and very warm and cozy. My only gripe is that it’s not wider but it measures true to its size. It’s super soft and fluffy. Would highly recommend this blanket as you’ll be wrapped in luxury.

Amazing and luxurious
Color: Cream (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Twin (60" x 80")
My daughter said this blanket can be described as luxury. It is soft, plush, and warm. It does slip and slide some, so just be aware that it can do that

Super soft, looks and feels lovely
Color: Cream (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
LThis is a double sided faux fur blanket (with sides have the same slightly bubbled fur. It iz slightly bubbled looking, not as bubbly as the picture makes it seem. The two sides are sealed around the edge, but not sewn or tied in anyway throughout the blanket, so the two sides are free to move on theinside of the. Blanket. It is extremely soft, and my dog, who is old and going blind actively seeks out this particular blanket to make his nest in. He loves it, and so do I. I got it discounted in white, a d know at some point it won't look white any.ore. I'll try to die it after it gets a little grungy looking. Till then, it looks and feels luxurious. I only wish it were joined together in the middle, and more "bubbly" looking. It's a bit heavy by itself for summer nights, but feels warm down cozy in colder times. I got the throw size, it seems a bit smaller than I expected it to be.
