EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Eton Rifle Volunteers (Second Bucks) going down the Thames in Punts to attack the Outposts of the First Bucks and Second Oxford Volunteers" takes us back to a significant moment in military history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a daring mission undertaken by brave soldiers. In this scene, we witness a flotilla of punts gliding gracefully along the majestic River Thames. The Eton Rifle Volunteers, hailing from Second Bucks, are on their way to launch an audacious assault on the outposts held by their counterparts from First Bucks and Second Oxford Volunteers. The tension is palpable as these determined attackers navigate through calm waters towards their target. The composition skillfully captures both tranquility and anticipation; each punt holds eager volunteers ready for action. A tugboat accompanies them, symbolizing support and coordination during this perilous endeavor. This historic event was immortalized in The Graphic newspaper on August 20th, 1887. It serves as a testament to the courage and camaraderie exhibited by these valiant men who put themselves at risk for their cause. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us of not only the bravery displayed but also highlights how transportation played a crucial role in military operations throughout history. This engraving stands as a tribute to those who fought selflessly for what they believed in while showcasing the artistic talent that brings such moments vividly to life.
