EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - the National Archery Meeting at Exeter. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur of this sporting event that brought together archers from all corners of the nation. The scene is filled with anticipation as participants gather on a vast field in Devon's charming city of Exeter. With bows drawn and arrows poised, these skilled athletes demonstrate their precision and focus. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as spectators watch intently, marveling at the skill and technique displayed by these archery enthusiasts. Published originally in The Illustrated London News on August 7th, 1858, this engraving captures not only a specific event but also reflects the growing popularity of archery as a sport during that era. It serves as a testament to England's rich sporting heritage and its commitment to promoting physical prowess among its citizens. Preserved within private collections for generations, this print now offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in sports history. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how sports have always united people across time and space - transcending boundaries and fostering camaraderie through shared passions such as archery.
