EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of preparation and camaraderie among military volunteers. The image, taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, showcases the dedication and readiness of these regulars as they gear up for a shooting contest. Set against the backdrop of the picturesque camp in Oxfordshire's Bisley, this photograph beautifully portrays the essence of military life during that era. The soldiers from prestigious institutions like Oxford and Cambridge can be seen meticulously arranging their equipment with utmost precision. The composition exudes a sense of discipline and unity as these men come together to showcase their skills in marksmanship. Their focus is palpable; each soldier appears determined to prove his mettle in this highly anticipated contest. This historical print not only captures a significant moment but also serves as a testament to the artistry of early photography. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the technical prowess behind capturing such an image and its artistic value. Preserved within private collections today, "In Camp at Bisley" continues to fascinate viewers with its timeless depiction of military life steeped in tradition.
