EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration captures the excitement and spirit of the Babes in the Wood Race, an unique event that took place in Bermuda in 1904. The race was held during a gymkana, a traditional English-style horse show, and featured an unconventional competition for the men. The men participating in the race were required to demonstrate a combination of horsemanship, agility, and quick thinking. The competition began with a gallop up to a high wall, where they had to dismount and climb over. Once they had cleared the obstacle, they were tasked with finding dolls that had been hidden in the woods beyond. Each man had to return to his lady, who was waiting for him with a perambulator, or a baby carriage. The lady's role was to put the doll back in the perambulator and wheel it over a short course to complete the team's challenge. The Babes in the Wood Race was a popular event in Bermuda's social calendar, and this illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image shows the determination and focus of the riders as they navigate the obstacles, and the anticipation and support of their ladies as they wait for their return. The hidden dolls in the woods add an element of mystery and adventure to the competition, making it a truly memorable experience for all involved. This historical illustration, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable record of Bermuda's rich past and the unique traditions that have shaped its history. It is a reminder of the importance of community, tradition, and the joy of competition, all of which continue to be cherished values in Bermuda today.
