EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a historic moment in the Amateur Athletic Association of Yokohama's Spring Meeting in 1876. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, showcases various athletic events that took place during this prestigious gathering. Intriguingly detailed, the image depicts athletes competing fiercely in a range of disciplines such as flat races, walking competitions, steeplechase, pole jump, high jump, hurdle race, and even hammer throwing. The participants' determination and athleticism are palpable as they strive for victory. Noteworthy individuals make their mark on this eventful day. H. J. Snow and A. H. Dare showcase their speed and agility in the 150 yards and 100 yards flat races respectively. F. J Smith and F Jonas display their endurance during the one-mile walking competition while also participating in other events like vaulting. The atmosphere is electric with spectators cheering on these remarkable athletes who have gathered from far and wide to compete for glory at Yokohama's Amateur Athletic Association Spring Meeting. This illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on August 5th, 1876 - an important record of sporting history preserved within private collections today thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. It serves as a testament to both the dedication of these early sportsmen/women and our enduring fascination with athletic prowess throughout time.
