A Royal Bulls Eye - A Moment of Triumph at the National Rifle Association Range Opening in 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the grand opening of the prestigious National Rifle Association range at Bisley. The image captures a distinguished company gathered for this momentous occasion during England's Victorian era. Amongst the esteemed guests stands the radiant Princess of Wales, her poise and elegance commanding attention. With unwavering focus, she takes aim and fires with precision, hitting an unquestionable bulls eye. It is said that Sir H. Halford and Captain Nathan had meticulously prepared the rifle for her use, but it was ultimately her own marksmanship that delighted everyone present. The scene is filled with an air of high society as members don their military uniforms while others observe in awe. This photograph not only showcases a remarkable feat but also highlights the importance placed on shooting skills within Edwardian-era England. The exquisite watercolour-like quality adds depth to this historical snapshot, capturing both the opulence of Surrey's landscape and its association with horse racing culture. As we gaze upon this image from TopFoto's Archive collection, we are reminded of a bygone era when skillful marksmanship was celebrated among royalty and aristocracy alike.
