EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Volunteer Movement" takes us back to the 19th century when military prowess and shooting competitions were highly revered. The image showcases a bustling entrance to a rifle ground in Hightown, Lancashire, where members of the volunteer movement gather for practice. With intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this print captures the essence of camaraderie and dedication among these volunteers. Men from all walks of life can be seen eagerly lining up with their rifles in hand, ready to showcase their marksmanship skills. The engraving was originally published in the Illustrated Times on November 10th, 1860. It offers a glimpse into an era when individuals took it upon themselves to protect their communities by joining local militias or volunteer regiments. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness the passion and commitment that fueled these shooting competitions. This print serves as a reminder of how ordinary citizens came together for a common cause – defending their nation while honing their shooting abilities. "The Volunteer Movement" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it represents an important chapter in British history when civilians played an active role in national defense. Let this engraving serve as inspiration for us to appreciate our own modern-day heroes who selflessly dedicate themselves to protecting our societies.
