EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the Wimbledon Camp of the National Rifle Association" takes us back to a bygone era in 19th century England. The image showcases a group of gentlemen engaged in shooting competitions, highlighting their love for this ubiquitous sport. In the foreground, we see men dressed in military attire, fully immersed in their fly-fishing business. A charming cottage stands proudly behind them, symbolizing the idyllic setting of the National Rifle Association's camp at Wimbledon. These sketches capture not only the competitive nature of shooting but also the camaraderie shared among these men. One gentleman is depicted enjoying his first uniform as he participates in sentry duty. Another man can be seen engrossed with a private dummy target practice. These scenes provide an intimate glimpse into the lives and passions of those involved with this prestigious association. The illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on July 14th, 1883 - a testament to its historical significance. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to London during that time period when shooting competitions were highly regarded and celebrated events. Whether you have an interest in military history or simply appreciate art that captures moments frozen in time, this engraving offers a fascinating window into an era where skillful marksmanship was both admired and pursued with great enthusiasm.
