EDITORS COMMENTS
The Military Tournament: A Spectacle of Skill and Precision in the Late Victorian Era This photograph, taken in 1893, captures the essence of The Military Tournament, an exhilarating event that showcased the horsemanship and martial prowess of soldiers during the late Victorian era. The image features a soldier on horseback, poised and focused as he skillfully cuts a lemon in mid-gallop. The Military Tournament was a much-anticipated annual event that attracted a million spectators to the London arena each June. The competition, which began in 1880, showcased a variety of military skills, from equestrian feats to swordplay and marksmanship. The soldiers, dressed in their resplendent uniforms, competed for the admiration of the crowd and the honor of being crowned the champion. The soldier in this photograph, with his steed at a full gallop, demonstrates the remarkable balance and control required to execute such a precise maneuver. The dust kicked up by the hooves and the determined expression on the soldier's face add to the excitement and energy of the scene. The lemon, sliced cleanly in two, serves as a testament to the soldier's skill and the close attention to detail demanded by the tournament. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the thrilling world of The Military Tournament and the extraordinary feats of horsemanship and martial prowess that defined the late Victorian era.
