EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in British politics and leisure. The print showcases the Pigeon-Shooting Match at Hurlingham Park between Members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, which took place in 1870. In this image, we see distinguished members from both houses gathered together for a friendly shooting competition. Clad in their formal attire, these politicians put aside their differences to engage in a sport that was popular during that era. The setting is Hurlingham Park, an iconic location known for its picturesque landscapes and recreational activities. As the participants take aim at clay pigeons flying through the air, there is an air of camaraderie mixed with healthy competition. This event not only highlights the shared interests among politicians but also provides insight into Victorian society's pastimes. It serves as a reminder that even those engaged in serious matters can find common ground outside of political debates. The Illustrated Times published this illustration on June 18th, 1870, immortalizing this unique gathering for future generations to appreciate. Today, it stands as a testament to history and offers us a glimpse into the lives of influential figures who shaped Britain's political landscape during that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from English School's collection so that we may continue to admire and reflect upon this intriguing moment captured over a century ago.
