EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a thrilling moment from The Royal Military Tournament, showcasing the Victorian Horse-Artillery in a high-stakes Driving Competition. The image freezes time as the horses navigate a sharp turn with remarkable precision and agility. The tension is palpable as the powerful steeds lean into the curve, their muscles tensed and sweat glistening on their sleek coats. The skilled artillerymen maintain perfect control over their teams, guiding them through this challenging maneuver with unwavering focus. The artist, John Charlton (1849-1917), masterfully conveys the drama of this intense competition. Every detail is meticulously rendered, from the intricate harnesses adorning each horse to the determined expressions on both man and beast. Published in The Graphic on June 10th, 1893, this illustration transports us back to an era when equestrian prowess was celebrated and admired. It offers a glimpse into an important event where military might met sporting finesse. As we gaze upon this historic print now housed in a private collection, we are reminded of the skill and bravery exhibited by these Victorian soldiers. Their dedication to excellence shines through even in such seemingly mundane tasks as driving artillery teams. This engraving serves as both a testament to our rich military history and an homage to those who have served before us. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistry captured within its lines but also the indomitable spirit that drives individuals towards greatness – be it on or off the battlefield.
