EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pigeon Shooting at Notting Hill, Lord de Clifford v Mr Davenport-Handley" takes us back to a thrilling sporting event in the late 19th century. The image showcases two prominent figures of the time engaged in an intense competition amidst the picturesque backdrop of Notting Hill. Lord de Clifford and Mr Davenport-Handley stand side by side, their eyes fixed on the sky as pigeons soar above them. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as both men prepare to take aim and test their shooting skills. Surrounding them are other notable individuals such as Mr Howard, F Mount, Mr Turner, Ellison, Sadler, and even Father Christmas himself. The grand pavilion stands tall in the background, serving as a gathering point for spectators who eagerly watch every shot fired. The excitement is palpable; one can almost hear the cheers and gasps from the crowd. Horace Morehen's intricate engravings beautifully capture this historic moment in time. Published in The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on July 26th, 1884, this artwork immortalizes a significant event that brought together sportsmanship and social prominence. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era where pigeon shooting was not only a popular sport but also a symbol of status among gentlemen. It serves as a reminder of how our pastimes have evolved over time while preserving moments like these for future generations to appreciate.
