EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Artillery Camp at Okehampton, Devon" takes us back to a bygone era of military training and precision. Created by the talented artist William Barnes Wollen in 1893, this print offers a glimpse into the world of artillery practice during that time. The scene depicts an expansive camp set against the picturesque backdrop of Okehampton, Devon. The battery ranges stretch out before us as camp staff and cavalry teams diligently prepare for their practice sessions. Troops can be seen pulling horses and fixing equipment while others watch attentively from afar. Intriguingly, semaphore hill stands tall in the distance, representing the crucial role of signalling in military operations. It is clear that every detail has been meticulously captured by Wollen's skilled hand. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the dedication and discipline required within armed forces. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as troops ready themselves for firing exercises on target ranges. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder transports us to a different era where military camps like Okehampton played a vital role in shaping our armed forces' capabilities. It serves as both a testament to our history and an appreciation for those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our nations.
