EDITORS COMMENTS
This Chromolithograph poster, created by the renowned artist Dudley Hardy and published by Dobson Molle and Co in 1910, transports us back in time to the grandeur and excitement of the Royal Naval and Military Tournament held at Olympia in London. The image depicts an officer in a bold red military coat, standing confidently at the quayside as he watches a majestic battleship sail by. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the poster, achieved through the Chromolithograph printing process, bring the scene to life with a level of detail and realism that was unmatched during the Edwardian era. The Royal Naval and Military Tournament was a highly anticipated annual event that showcased the skills and prowess of the British military, with displays of horsemanship, drill competitions, and mock battles. The tournament took place twice daily at 2.30 and 8pm from May 18th to June 3rd, 1910. This poster, signed by the artist in the lower left corner, is a testament to the historical significance of the event and the artistic talent of Dudley Hardy. The image of the officer standing at the quayside, gazing at the battleship, evokes a sense of pride and patriotism, as well as a sense of awe and wonder at the technological marvels of the British Navy. The poster's association with the Royal Tournament and its stunning design make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical military memorabilia or art. This poster is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of a bygone era.
