EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the summer of 1871, capturing a vibrant scene at Wimbledon. The print, created by Alfred W. Cooper, showcases the bustling atmosphere surrounding shooting competitions held in London during that time. In this snapshot of history, we see a multitude of activities taking place simultaneously. A band plays lively tunes in the background while participants engage in sewing and other leisurely pursuits under tents scattered across the grounds. The image exudes an air of camaraderie as people gather together to enjoy each other's company amidst the excitement. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element seems meticulously captured. From the intricately designed tent structures to individuals engrossed in their tasks, this engraving provides a glimpse into daily life during this era. Notably, evensong is depicted prominently within the frame - a moment where participants pause from their activities and come together for reflection or prayer. This adds depth and spirituality to an otherwise festive occasion. Wimbledon's significance is further emphasized by references such as "Queen's Badge" which allude to its prestigious nature even back then. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder that despite being over 150 years old, moments frozen in time can still evoke emotions and transport us into another world entirely
