EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Volunteer Athletic Sports at Portsmouth" takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a sporting event in 19th century England. The image captures a moment filled with energy and camaraderie as regulars and volunteers participate in various athletic activities. In the foreground, we see athletes engaged in an obstacle race, their determination evident on their faces. They hurdle over barriers while spectators cheer them on from the sidelines. The scene is accompanied by musicians playing lively tunes, adding to the festive ambiance. What makes this engraving truly unique is the presence of Ethiopian volunteers amidst the predominantly military crowd. These brave individuals stand out not only due to their irregular uniforms but also because they represent diversity within this gathering of sports enthusiasts. The setting for this spirited occasion is none other than Portsmouth, a historic port city known for its maritime heritage. Hampshire's coastal charm serves as a picturesque backdrop for these games that bring together people from all walks of life. Preserved through time, this print allows us to witness a moment frozen in history - one that celebrates athleticism, unity, and cultural exchange. It reminds us of the power of sport to bridge gaps between different communities and create lasting memories that transcend generations.
