EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Ralph Cleaver that captures a significant moment in military history. The print, dating back to 1901, showcases the intense weapons testing conducted at Aldershot, Hampshire. In this scene, we witness the New Targets representing the enemy - horse, foot soldiers, and artillery - being attacked by various military detachments. The image portrays a dynamic battlefield with exploding bombs and disappearing targets. General Sir Redvers Buller himself observes these experiments alongside an intrigued crowd of spectators. From an armoured train to dummy cavalry charges, every aspect of warfare is meticulously tested for its effectiveness. Cleaver's attention to detail is evident as he depicts the surrounding landscape with precision. The Crown Prince Wood and Fox Hill East serve as witnesses to this sanguinary display of firepower. Even the Jolly Farmer Inn stands witness to these trials from afar. This lithograph not only provides us with a glimpse into historical military practices but also highlights the advancements made during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of weaponry and tactics since those early days. "The Experiments in Practical Field-Firing at Aldershot" remains an invaluable piece of art that immortalizes an important chapter in military history while showcasing Cleaver's artistic prowess and attention to detail.
