Archery in the Victorian Era - A Fashionable Pastime for High Society Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases the popular leisure activity of archery among high-class women. Taken from an issue of the Illustrated London News, this hand-coloured print beautifully captures the elegance and sophistication associated with archery during that era. In this illustration, we see a group of upper-class women dressed in fashionable attire, donning exquisite hats and dresses while engaging in their archery practice. The attention to detail highlights not only their stylish clothing but also their skillful handling of bows and arrows. Archery was more than just a sport; it represented social status and refinement. It provided an opportunity for these women to showcase their gracefulness and precision while participating in a traditionally male-dominated activity. The presence of targets further emphasizes their dedication to honing their skills as they aim for bullseyes with utmost concentration. Even amidst such focused determination, one woman elegantly holds a parasol, adding an extra touch of femininity to this scene. This print offers us a glimpse into the past, capturing both fashion trends and cultural practices prevalent during that time. It serves as a reminder that even within strict class systems, women found ways to express themselves through various activities like archery. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork so that we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into how leisure pursuits played an essential role in shaping society's perceptions during the Victorian era.
