The Anglo-American Rifle-Contest at Creedmoor, USA - A Historic Display of Marksmanship
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a momentous event in the history of rifle shooting - The Anglo-American Rifle-Contest at Creedmoor, USA. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intense competition between various rifle volunteer groups. Intriguingly detailed, the image features prominent figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Sir Henry Halford from the 1st Dumfries Rifle Volunteers and Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Walrond alongside members of Parliament. Other notable participants include representatives from Eton College Rifle Volunteers, Cambridge University Rifle Volunteers, and many more esteemed units. The contest itself was a testament to skill and precision as these marksmen aimed to outdo each other on American soil. Private R. McVittie from the 6th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers is seen taking aim while Corporal C. J. Parry from the 2nd Notts Rifle Volunteers intently observes his target. With its rich historical significance and attention to detail, this engraving serves as a window into a time when shooting competitions were highly regarded events that brought together skilled riflemen from both sides of the Atlantic. Now preserved in a private collection but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also commemorate an important milestone in anglo-american relations through competitive sportsmanship.
