EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a moment in time at the Ladys rifle range in Charlton, Kent. Situated amidst the picturesque sandpits near Woolwich, this impressive rifle-range stretches an impressive 200 yards. The focal point of this image is the Charlton and Kidbrooke Rifle Club, a group formed with the noble purpose of promoting rifle-shooting as both a means of national defense and an enjoyable sport. The date etched on this photograph reads May 29th, 1906 - a testament to its historical significance. Intriguingly dressed in Edwardian fashion, we see women clad in elegant clothing adorned with fashionable hats. Breaking societal norms for that era, these ladies proudly engage in leisure activities typically associated with men. With rifles firmly held against their shoulders and focused gazes fixed upon distant targets, they epitomize determination and skill. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints not only showcases women's involvement in shooting sports but also provides insight into the changing dynamics of gender roles during that period. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, women were breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes. Let this remarkable image transport you back to an era where passion for sport transcended gender boundaries while celebrating both national defense and personal achievement through marksmanship.
