Amazons of the Bow - A Sketch at an Archery Meeting
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, created by Lucien Davis in 1885, transports us back to a time when archery was not only a sport but also a symbol of high society and leisure. The illustration showcases a gathering of elegant women from the upper classes, gracefully practicing their archery skills. Dressed in fashionable dresses and adorned with stylish hats, these female archers exude confidence and poise as they take aim at their targets. Each woman holds her bow with precision, showcasing both skill and determination. The Victorian-style hand coloring adds an air of sophistication to this scene. The image offers us a glimpse into the world of 19th-century English society, where engaging in sports like archery was considered both fashionable and socially acceptable for women. It highlights the changing role of women during this era as they embraced activities traditionally associated with men. As we admire this print from the Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, we are reminded of how fashion trends have evolved over time while still reflecting social class distinctions. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of historical illustrations that capture moments from our past. Let this enchanting engraving transport you to an era where elegance met athleticism, where bows and arrows were not just weapons but symbols of grace and refinement.
