EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Shoot, Aim, Fire," transports us back to the 1930s in London, where rifle shooting was a beloved pastime for city men during their lunch hour. The image, taken in 1932, depicts a group of suited and booted gentlemen gathered beneath the Embankment, intently focusing on their target at the shooting range. The serene setting along the Thames River provides a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city, offering these businessmen a much-needed respite from their daily routines. Each man, with an air of determination and concentration, takes aim with his rifle, ready to fire. The military-style training evident in their postures and attire adds an element of discipline and order to this leisurely activity. The camaraderie among the group is palpable as they engage in friendly competition, sharing tips and encouragement. The tranquility of the scene is further emphasized by the absence of modern distractions, allowing these men to fully immerse themselves in the simple pleasure of rifle shooting. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a unique aspect of British culture during the 1930s. The image captures the essence of a simpler time when men could momentarily escape the pressures of city life and connect with one another through a shared passion for shooting.
