  1. Samuel Colt: Arms, Art, and Invention Description : The fascinating story of the American inventor and manufacturer who perfected the revolver Samuel Colt (1814&#82111862) first patented his &#8220Colt&#8221 revolver in 1835 and thereby redefined the architecture of handguns. This stunning book is the first to present in detail the evolution of his most famous invention and to document the unsurpassed Colt firearms collections held by the Wadsworth Atheneum. Colt designed his revolvers with an artistic sensibility&#8211&#8211paying particular attention to form and beauty and juxtaposing colors and finishes to heighten the visual effects. He was also one of the first American manufacturers to secure celeity endorsements and to commission paintings by renowned artists like George Catlin to promote his arms.&nbspColt&#8217s standards for excellence, industrial foresight, and quest for market domination are explored in light of primary&nbspdocuments that reveal his constant battles to protect his patents. Essays discuss Colt&#8217s personal collection of historic firearms as well as the memorial collection of Colt-manufactured firearms, the relationship between art and commerce as they pertain to the inventor&#8217s career, and his international celeity. Richly illustrated and beautifully produced, this volume presents the artistry of the firearms that Colt worked so diligently to perfect&#8211&#8211as well as his promotional abilities that made a tremendous impact on American culture.Published in association with the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford&nbsp(opens September 20, 2006)
