Queen Victoria Makes History - Firing the First Shot at Wimbledon, July 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we witness a momentous event in British history. It is July 1860, and Queen Victoria takes center stage as she fires the first shot at Wimbledon. This remarkable illustration by William Barnes Wollen captures the essence of this royal event. Dressed elegantly in her regal attire, Queen Victoria stands tall under a grand canopy within a tent. With determination etched on her face, she holds a Whitworth rifle firmly in her hands. As the monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, she symbolizes strength and power as she inaugurates the National Rifle Association's inaugural meeting. Surrounded by soldiers clad in uniform, both male and female spectators watch with awe as their queen demonstrates her marksmanship skills. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as all eyes focus on this groundbreaking moment. This image not only showcases Queen Victoria's prowess but also highlights her commitment to promoting military preparedness during an era marked by warfare and conflict. Her involvement challenges traditional gender roles while emphasizing the importance of national defense. Through Robert Wilson's masterful storytelling in "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria" we are transported back to this significant chapter in Victorian history. William Barnes Wollen's meticulous engraving brings every detail to life - from the intricate folds of fabric to the intense expressions on each face present that day. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Queen Victoria's indomitable spirit and enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential monarchs.
