EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mr Edward Ross, the Rifle Champion of England" takes us back to a time when shooting competitions were highly esteemed in England. Created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this print showcases Mr Edward Ross, a renowned figure in the world of rifles and marksmanship. The image exudes a sense of pride and accomplishment as Mr Ross stands tall with his rifle held firmly. Dressed in traditional attire, he epitomizes the epitome of skill and precision that made him the champion of England. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched onto his face tells a story of determination and focus. Commissioned for The Illustrated London News on July 21st, 1860, this illustration captures not only Mr Ross's triumph but also serves as a testament to the popularity of shooting sports during that era. It transports us back to Victorian London where spectators would gather eagerly to witness these thrilling contests. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving offers us a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time when excellence in marksmanship was celebrated. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the dedication and passion required to become an esteemed champion like Mr Edward Ross.
