For soldiers, hunters or frontiersman in the late Colonial period (1750s–1770s: the time of the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolutionary war), powder horns were indispensable companions to their muskets. Cow or ox horn made a convenient container for carrying and protecting gunpowder and its translucency meant one could see how much powder was left by holding it up to the light.
Powder horns were often inscribed with references to particular campaigns, rhymes, forts or towns, diary entries or maps – an art known as ‘scrimshaw’. Since maps were scarce during the time period, it is possible that map-inscribed powder horns served as guides for their owners, but it is more likely that they provided records or mementos of the areas that the owners traversed. Here, the imagery shows New York and other landmarks along the Hudson River. It was created using needlepoint and coloured with black soot and red ink. Each cut would have had to be made three times, possibly with a magnifying glass, and then the resulting 'scurf' removed to create a smooth finish. It would have taken weeks to complete. The British coat of arms suggests the owner was an American Colonial or British soldier.
