EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the early 19th century showcases an English Lady engaged in the art of archery. With a bow firmly gripped in her delicate hands, she demonstrates remarkable strength and skill as she practices her aim with arrows flying through the air. The image, part of a private collection, is an illustration for "Wonders of Bodily Strength and Skill" by Guillaume Depping and Charles Russell. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into the past when archery was not only considered a sport but also an essential skill for self-defense. The lady's focused expression reveals her determination to master this weapon that requires both physical prowess and mental precision. The engraving highlights not only the beauty of archery as an art form but also serves as a testament to human capability. It reminds us that even during times when women were expected to conform to societal norms, there were those who defied expectations and pursued activities traditionally associated with men. As we admire this piece from French School's 19th-century collection, it invites us to appreciate the strength and grace embodied by this English Lady. Her dedication to honing her skills with such elegance proves that true mastery knows no boundaries - be it gender or time period.
