EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The National Rifle Association Meeting at Bisley" takes us back to the year 1897. The image transports us to a time when shooting competitions were held in high regard, showcasing the skill and precision of marksmen from around the world. In this scene, we witness a flurry of activity on the revolver range as participants take aim with their firearms. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as competitors strive for victory in various events such as the Prince of Wales Cup and Wantage Cup. Spectators eagerly observe each shot fired, anticipating remarkable displays of accuracy. Amidst the crowd stands a distinguished figure – an officer from the 1st Madras Lancers – his presence commanding attention. As evening descends upon Bisley, a sense of camaraderie fills the air; shooters exchange stories and strategies while relishing in their shared passion for marksmanship. Ralph Cleaver's masterful engraving captures not only the intensity of competition but also pays homage to this prestigious gathering that has become synonymous with excellence in shooting sports.

Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork allows us to appreciate an era where shooting prowess was celebrated and revered. It invites viewers to reflect on our rich heritage while acknowledging how far we have come since those early days at Bisley - forever etched into history through Cleaver's skilled hand.
