EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Military Sports at Hurlingham" takes us back to the year 1875 when military prowess and equestrian skills were celebrated with great fervor. The artist, Alfred Chantrey Corbould, beautifully captures a scene from this grand event that was published in The Graphic. In the foreground of the print, we witness a thrilling game of tent pegging. Mounted soldiers are skillfully picking up limes while riding at full gallop, showcasing their dexterity and precision. One can almost feel the thundering hooves as these brave men compete for victory. Further into the image, we see another group engaged in tilting - an ancient sport where riders aim to spear rings using a point of sword. Their concentration is evident as they focus on hitting their target with utmost accuracy. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as spectators eagerly watch these military sports unfold before them. Amongst them stands a victorious tent pegger holding his handkerchief high in triumph. Corbould's attention to detail transports us back to this bygone era where horses played an integral role in warfare and leisure activities alike. This engraving serves as a testament to the valor and athleticism displayed by those who served in the military during this time period. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of the rich heritage of military sports and its enduring appeal throughout history.
