EDITORS COMMENTS
The Review and Sham Fight before the Emperor of Germany captures a lively scene filled with humor, military grandeur, and playful camaraderie. This intriguing engraving by Alfred Chantrey Corbould takes us back to August 17,1889, when The Graphic magazine published this illustration as part of its collection. In the foreground, we witness a group of British soldiers engaging in a mock battle known as the 'Sham Fight. ' Dressed in their splendid uniforms and armed with wooden swords, they demonstrate their skills while playfully romping on Play Hill. Their wives watch from afar with amusement and pride. At the center of attention stands His Royal Highness, the Emperor of Germany himself. With his royal entourage surrounding him, he observes the spectacle unfolding before him. A sense of joviality fills the air as everyone salutes at his presence. Behind them lies an intricate campsite where artists diligently sketch notes for future reference. They capture every detail meticulously – from positions to expressions – ensuring that no aspect is overlooked. The composition also includes elements like a confectioner's pony sweeping past and a fire blazing nearby. These whimsical touches add an element of surprise and delight to this already captivating scene. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into both military tradition and light-hearted entertainment enjoyed by royalty during that era. It serves as a testament to how art can beautifully blend history with imagination.
