EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by Between The Wars, we are transported back to a historic moment in time - the contest between The Woodmen of Arden and the Royal Company of Archers in the archery field. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the East Meadows in Edinburgh on 28th July 1923, this image encapsulates both the spirit of competition and camaraderie among these skilled archers. The scene unfolds with an air of anticipation as participants from both groups prepare to showcase their prowess with bows and arrows. Dressed in traditional attire, each archer exudes confidence and determination, ready to demonstrate their precision and accuracy. Their focused expressions reveal a deep passion for their craft, while also highlighting the importance placed on maintaining centuries-old traditions. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that more than just a mere competition is taking place here. This gathering represents a celebration of heritage and skill passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich history intertwined with archery - an art form that once played a crucial role in warfare but has since evolved into a beloved sport. Through TopFoto's lens, we are granted access to witness this extraordinary event where past meets present. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection to tradition and reminds us that even amidst societal changes between two world wars, there were still moments when people came together to honor age-old customs like those displayed by The Woodmen of Arden and the Royal Company
