Created by an unknown English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of shooting competitions during the renowned Wimbledon Rifle Meeting. The image showcases a group of skilled marksmen aiming their rifles towards a row of meticulously placed targets. The intensity on their faces is palpable as they concentrate on hitting their marks with precision and accuracy. Each participant seems determined to showcase their skills amidst fierce competition. Published in The Illustrated London News on July 11,1874, this engraving provides us with a glimpse into one of London's most prestigious events - the Wimbledon National Congress. This annual gathering brought together riflemen from all walks of life who aimed to demonstrate their prowess in front of an eager audience.
