Or, to carry them off. I now see 3 men in chains, plus the one on the post.
It is grusome, and also very old. You cant see it in the pics, but the glass is waved , not made like they do today or even 80 years ago.
Still looking for any info tho,
Thanks for the replys.

Antique Questions Forum / Old Hungarian Print of a Firing Squad?

Hello all, I am so happy to have found this site.
I have had this print for about 10 years, it was given to my inlaws who then gave it to me.
It is hard to get a decent pic of it because it is big an dark.
The bottom of the print has writing on it and I think it says,
"KOSYEVS KALMAN, MAGYAR IRODI ES KONYUK, R , T. BUDAPEST.
The O in konyuk or konyvk looks like an o with quote marks directly above it.
The scene shows a man being tied to a post, clergy praying ,and some men in the back ground smiling all standing around what looks like an a cannon and a bunch of mid 1800s soldiers.
Here are some pics, they are the best i could take at the time.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Roland
