EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Sport and Art". Exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery captures a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century sporting culture. This detailed engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a diverse range of activities and objects associated with the world of sports. In this scene, we see Colonel Hambro presenting a carved steel lock knife to Colonel Ralph Vivian amidst a backdrop of wood carvings and hunting trophies. The exhibition highlights various forms of sport, including falconry represented by the majestic sparrowhawk perched on its master's arm. The display also features weapons such as crossbows and guns, symbolizing the importance of hunting in society during that era. Notably, Prince of Wales lent his own prized antelope skull for exhibition alongside other marked skulls from different animals. The artwork further emphasizes international connections with Emperor Frederick of Germany being presented with a falconry-themed carving. This reflects the widespread interest in sport across Europe during this time period. Overall, this print offers viewers an immersive experience into both the artistry and sporting pursuits prevalent in 19th-century England. It serves as a testament to how sports were not only seen as hobbies but also celebrated as cultural expressions within society.
