EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Wimbledon Workers" takes us back to the summer of 1881. The image showcases a bustling scene in the dining room of Wimbledon, where shooting competitions were held. Created by renowned artist Harry Furniss, this print captures the essence of a momentous event that brought together people from various professions. The engraving depicts an eclectic mix of individuals: waiters serving guests with precision, artists capturing the lively atmosphere on their canvases, and even a group known as the "black brigade" who were responsible for marking targets during shooting competitions. Among them are members of the military camps seeking respite from their duties and policemen ensuring order amidst all the excitement. Intriguingly, there is also mention of a "poor reglar" - perhaps someone less fortunate who found solace in witnessing such grand events. The scene is filled with camaraderie as workers take a well-deserved break from their hectic catering responsibilities. Beyond its historical significance, this engraving offers us a glimpse into London's vibrant past - one where hosiery factories thrived and fire brigades tirelessly protected communities. It serves as a testament to both hard work and leisurely moments shared among diverse groups within society. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect upon how different professions have shaped our world throughout history.
