EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print transports us to the historic Penhurst Place in Kent, England. The image showcases a group of men engaged in crossbow practice within the grand courtyard of this magnificent castle-like structure. The imposing castellated entrance and battlements serve as a dramatic backdrop for their shooting session. Amidst the architectural splendor, we notice an intriguing addition - two loyal dogs eagerly observing their masters' every move. Their presence adds a touch of liveliness to this scene frozen in time. The men are fully focused on perfecting their aim, each one carefully positioning his weapon against the crenellations that adorn the facade. With walking sticks or canes in hand, they exude an air of sophistication and purpose. This snapshot from English history captures not only a moment of skillful archery but also highlights the significance of Penhurst Place as a center for such activities during that era. It offers us a glimpse into traditional English architecture with its intricate details and impressive exterior design. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Joseph Nash's "Architecture of the Middle Ages" published in 1838, we are reminded once again why historical prints like these hold immense value - they allow us to travel back through time and appreciate both human ingenuity and our furry companions who have been by our side throughout centuries past.
