The Autumn Manoeuvres at Dartmoor
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a scene of military playtime amidst the stunning landscape of Dartmoor. The image captures the essence of autumn manoeuvres as soldiers from the 42nd Highlanders engage in various activities. In this lively sketch, we see officers and soldiers engaged in a game of rounders, their kilts swirling with movement as they enjoy some well-deserved recreation. The atmosphere is filled with camaraderie and joy as they take advantage of their time away from camp duties. The setting itself adds to the charm of this print. A winding road leads our gaze towards Yannaton and Horrabridge, while in the background stands an inviting butchers shop. It's an idyllic countryside scene set against the rugged beauty of Dartmoor. Amidst all this playfulness, there is still evidence of discipline and order. A gong can be seen nearby, reminding everyone that duty awaits them after their moments of respite. This engraving not only showcases military life during autumn manoeuvres but also provides us with a glimpse into history through its intricate details and vibrant depiction. It serves as a reminder that even in times dedicated to training and preparation for battle, moments like these were cherished by those who served.
