The image is an amalgamation of various scenes, each telling its own story within this historical gathering.

"C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre!" exclaims one participant, appreciating the grandeur of the event while acknowledging it is not actual warfare.

The Last Muster Round the Windmill showcases men gathered together for what could be their final meeting before parting ways. Meanwhile, participants indulge in delectable cuisine during breaks from intense discussions and competitions. The First Week captures the excitement and anticipation that fills the air at such gatherings.

This composite image portrays both men and women coming together in large numbers, united by their love for shooting sports on this historic occasion at Wimbledon Common Park.
