EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ladies Meeting of the Toxophilite Society, Regents Park, 11 July" takes us back to a summer day in 1894. The image showcases a gathering of women from the Toxophilite Society, an archery club based in London. As we peer into this snapshot of history, we witness these ladies engaging in their beloved sport amidst the lush greenery of Regents Park. The scene is filled with energy and camaraderie as each woman prepares to release her arrow towards the target. Their poised stances and focused expressions reveal their dedication and skill in mastering this ancient art form. Archery was not only seen as a recreational activity but also symbolized discipline and precision. The artist Lucien Davis beautifully captures this momentous occasion for posterity. This print originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on July 14th, allowing readers to glimpse into the world of female archers during that era. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of how women have always been active participants in sports and recreation throughout history. It celebrates their strength and determination while highlighting their contributions beyond traditional gender roles. This enchanting engraving invites us to appreciate both the beauty of artistry and the empowerment found within physical pursuits such as archery.
