EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Victoria, a symbol of power and grace, is captured in this remarkable print as she ceremonially fires a rifle to inaugurate the prestigious Wimbledon Rifle Meetings at Wimbledon Common in 1860. The Queen's presence not only marked the beginning of this historic event but also showcased her unwavering support for marksmanship. In addition to her ceremonial role, Queen Victoria bestowed a generous prize of £250 upon the best individual marksman, emphasizing her commitment to recognizing excellence and encouraging competition. This act further solidified her reputation as a monarch who valued skill and dedication. The Annual Meeting has endured throughout history, with only interruptions during both World Wars. Since 1889, the National Rifle Association has taken charge of organizing these meetings at Bisley, ensuring that this tradition lives on. This image is sourced from "The Realm of Victoria 1837-1887" by WJ Gordon - an esteemed publication created to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. Published around c1887 by Perry & Co in London, it serves as a testament to Her Majesty's enduring legacy.
