SOME AMERICAN HORNERS

On his BLOG Robert Weil in 1973 he started collecting images of the work contemporary “American makers’ that included the worker of ‘horners’, powder horn makers in particular. His challenge was 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. However, electronic publishing has changed all that. Having a website or having one's work available to view on the internet is becoming a necessity. For anyone interested in horn as a material and the part it played in various traditions Robert Weil’s BLOG is joy to rummage within.

The images here are but a tiny taste!
