EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene in camp during the Bisley Meeting, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century. The image showcases a moment of intense concentration and camaraderie among participants at this prestigious shooting event. Scores are being tallied, imperial prizes eagerly sought after, and troubled expressions hint at the competitive nature of the Bisley Meeting. In this snapshot, marksmen can be seen studying their targets with utmost precision while discussing strategies amidst gusts of wind. Firing unlimited rounds from their rifles, they engage in a contest that demands both skill and trickiness to claim victory. The coveted Kolapore Cup is up for grabs as competitors vie for recognition as the ultimate winner. The atmosphere is electric; cheers erupt from onlookers as Athol Boys celebrate their achievements within their campsite alongside Cambridge students who have joined them for this thrilling event. This photograph not only immortalizes a significant moment in history but also serves as a testament to the passion and dedication exhibited by these skilled shooters. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into an era where photography was still evolving. It stands as a reminder of how far we have come since then while honoring those who participated in one of Britain's most celebrated shooting competitions - the Bisley Meeting.
