EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "The Tournament of Doves Superseded, Practising with the New Terra-Cotta Pigeon at the Ranelagh Club" takes us back to 19th century London. This intriguing artwork, part of a private collection, showcases an unusual sport that has long been forgotten - clay pigeon shooting. In this vibrant scene, members of the Ranelagh Club can be seen honing their skills with the latest innovation in target practice: the terra-cotta pigeon. The beautifully detailed engraving captures the excitement and concentration on their faces as they take aim at these artificial birds. "The Tournament of Doves" once a popular event involving live doves released into flight for marksmen to shoot down, is now replaced by this new form of entertainment. The transition from real birds to clay pigeons represents both technological advancement and a growing concern for animal welfare. This illustration was originally published in The Graphic on May 26th, 1883. It offers us a fascinating glimpse into Victorian society's leisure activities and their evolving attitudes towards recreation. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of how our pastimes have changed over time while highlighting the artistic talent and attention to detail prevalent during that era. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we are able to appreciate and delve into historical artworks like this one – capturing moments frozen in time forevermore.
