EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Volunteers and Regulars in Middlesex Training for Outpost Duty" takes us back to a bygone era of military training and camaraderie. Created by the talented artist William Barnes Wollen, this print captures a moment in time when soldiers from both regular and volunteer forces gathered together for their important duty. The scene unfolds with great detail as we witness the diverse group of individuals preparing themselves at various locations along the outskirts of London. Harrow boys on bicycles, old veterans retiring from service, and mounted horsemen can be seen examining their surroundings while stationed near Perivale Bridge and Greenford Bridge. As sentries are placed strategically throughout the landscape, horses patiently await their riders' return. Inns and houses dotting the countryside provide shelter during this crucial outpost duty. The black-and-white contrast adds an air of nostalgia to this historical snapshot. Notably, amidst all these military preparations, there is also a glimpse into everyday life as cyclists pass by effortlessly on their bikes. A female cyclist confidently rides alongside her male counterparts, showcasing gender equality even in sports activities. This engraving beautifully encapsulates not only the importance of military training but also highlights how daily life intertwines seamlessly with such duties. It serves as a reminder that history is made up not just of grand events but also ordinary moments that shape our collective narrative.
