The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this event is undeniable. Set against the stunning landscape of Knavesmire in Yorkshire, England, archers from all over Britain gathered to compete for prestigious prizes totaling £125. With targets set at distances of 100,80, and 60 yards, these skilled bowmen showcased their precision and expertise. The engraving featured in "Illustrated London News" provides us with a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded this Victorian-era competition. Onlookers eagerly gather around to witness the thrilling display of skill and determination exhibited by these archers. Spectators can be seen engrossed in every shot as they cheer on their favorite competitors.
