The Volunteers at Wimbledon - A Historic Moment of Shooting Excellence
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing "The Volunteers at Wimbledon" in an exquisite engraving by Theodore Blake Wirgman. Dating back to 1875, this illustration was featured in The Graphic magazine and has now found its place in a private collection. Intriguingly, the image showcases a group of military volunteers participating in shooting competitions at the prestigious Wimbledon venue. Among them are notable figures such as Captain Pearse from the United States Army and Major H. Fulton, representing various regiments like First Somerset and Eighteenth Devonshire. The engraving also highlights some remarkable achievements during these competitions. Private J. T. Welch and Private E. Ross proudly display their prizes won for exceptional marksmanship, while others eagerly await their turn to showcase their skills on the firing range. Notably, this historic event attracted international attention with participants vying for coveted awards like the Alexandra Prize, Albert Prize, American Challenge Cup, Prince of Wales's Prize, Queens Prize, and even The Graphic Prize itself. As we gaze upon this fine art print from Bridgeman Images' collection today, it serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill displayed by these brave volunteers who competed fiercely amidst camaraderie and sportsmanship at one of England's most renowned shooting events - Wimbledon
