EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Wimbledon's picturesque grounds in 1865 as The National Rifle Association hosts its prize meeting. This black-and-white print captures the Highland Games, a popular diversion among volunteers and visitors alike. The London Scottish corps takes center stage, showcasing their impressive athletic prowess with hammer throws and other events.
The tartan-clad highlanders proudly wear their kilts, while soldiers from various regiments mingle in the background, enjoying some well-deserved rest and recreation after a long day of competition. A few gentlemen take a break to puff on pipes filled with sweet tobacco, adding to the relaxed atmosphere.
This charming scene is brought to life through the lens of an unknown photographer for "Illustrated London News" in 1865. The print collector's Heritage Images archive offers this unique glimpse into British military culture during the Victorian era.
