EDITORS COMMENTS
A Scene of Merry Archery: An Illustration from the 1830s of a Lively Archery Event in Kent Step back in time to the 1790s as we present this delightful and humorous illustration of an archery event taking place on the expansive Blackheath, then a part of Kent, now in South East London. The scene is filled with the spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie, as both men and women, dressed in historical costume, gather to show off their archery skills. The illustration, published in 1832, depicts a bustling archery field, with several tents pitched nearby, providing shelter for the participants and spectators alike. In the foreground, a man in a top hat and waistcoat, with a pipe clenched between his teeth, watches intently as a woman, dressed in a flowing gown and bonnet, takes aim and releases her arrow. Her dog, ever attentive, waits nearby. To her left, a group of men in knee-length breeches and stockings, their faces focused and determined, prepare their bows and arrows. A spectator, with a pipe in hand and a quizzical expression on his face, looks on from a distance. In the background, more tents can be seen, with men and women milling about, engaged in conversation or preparing their equipment. This charming illustration, taken from the pages of Pierce Egan's "Sports and Pastimes," offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the joy and camaraderie of an archery event in the 1790s. With its lively characters and humorous details, it is a must-see for anyone interested in history, sports, or simply a good laugh.
