EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the midst of a tranquil evening at Wimbledon Common in London as members of Queen Victoria's Rifles Corps go about their nightly routine. This print, dating back to 1865, captures the precision and discipline that defined military life during this era.
In "The National Rifle Association Prize Meeting at Wimbledon: The Picket Going Camp Rounds," we see a group of fully armed and accoutred soldiers making their rounds through camp an hour or two before bedtime. Their movements are deliberate and calculated, reflecting the strict military protocol they followed.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated London News in 1865, providing a unique glimpse into life during this pivotal moment in history. The National Rifle Association Prize Meeting at Wimbledon was a prestigious event that brought together some of Britain's finest soldiers to compete and showcase their skills.
As we gaze upon these men going about their duties under the soft glow of nightfall, we are reminded of the importance of discipline, camaraderie, and dedication during times of war. This print is not only a fascinating historical artifact but also a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who served.
