EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the 19th century, showcasing the Meeting of the National Rifle Association at Wimbledon. The engraving, created by an English School artist, transports us back to a time when shooting competitions were highly regarded and celebrated. In this scene, both women and men are seen participating in the event, highlighting their shared passion for marksmanship. The image showcases the camaraderie and unity among members of various shooting clubs who have gathered together for this prestigious occasion. The focal point of the engraving is Lady Elcho as she graciously presents prizes to deserving winners. Her presence symbolizes not only her support for shooting sports but also challenges traditional gender roles prevalent during that era. Published in the Illustrated London News on July 20,1864, this artwork provides a glimpse into London's vibrant social scene at that time. It serves as a testament to how important these competitions were within society and how they brought people from different backgrounds together.
