EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Military Sports at Hurlingham" takes us back to a bygone era of thrilling competition and equestrian prowess. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould in 1875, this print captures the essence of military sports with its depiction of various exhilarating activities. In the foreground, we witness soldiers engaging in a game of tent pegging, skillfully picking off limes from the ground while riding at full gallop. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as these brave men showcase their horsemanship and accuracy. A victorious tent pegger proudly waves his handkerchief, symbolizing triumph amidst fierce competition. Further back, we observe another group participating in tilting - an ancient jousting sport where riders aim to pierce rings using the point of their swords. The intensity is palpable as horses charge forward with determination while riders focus on hitting their targets. The scene is filled with energy and camaraderie as military personnel come together to celebrate athleticism and honor tradition. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of military sports that transcend time. Brought to life through meticulous detail and expert craftsmanship, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into an era when chivalry met athleticism on the fields of Hurlingham. It reminds us that even in times marked by conflict, there exists a shared love for sportsmanship and friendly competition among those who serve their country.
