When Gavrilo Princip pulled this trigger in Sarajevo in 1914, he fired what would become the first shot of World War 1 and changed the course of world history. Today this pistol is displayed in Vienna's military museum. I chose not to photograph the entire weapon. Rather, I moved in as close as the glass showcase would allow, and emphasized the details on the silver barrel, trigger, and handle. The name of the pistol's manufacturer, its trademark and patent information, are displayed on the silver steel of this cold, hard, uncomprimising killing machine. Details ignored by history but now revealed and emphasized as accessories to the crime.
