About the Item
Title: The International Rifle Match Between American and Irish Teams, Dollymount, 1875
Description: This vibrant 1875 illustration, taken from the *Illustrated London News*, depicts the historic rifle match between the American and Irish teams at Dollymount, near Dublin. The event showcases a lively scene with competitors in various shooting stances, including prone and seated positions, aiming their rifles towards distant targets. Spectators fill the background, some observing closely through telescopes, while others are seated under tents, with flags flying overhead.
The match attracted significant attention as it was one of the early international rifle shooting competitions, illustrating the growing popularity of shooting sports during the late 19th century. Both teams, representing their respective countries, are intensely focused, with support teams and scorekeepers on standby. The inclusion of national symbols, such as the American flag in the background, adds to the event's importance and the spirit of international competition.
The illustration captures not only the precision and discipline of the sport but also the enthusiasm of the large crowd gathered to witness the event, marking a moment of sporting history between the United States and Ireland.
Dollymount is located on the northern coast of Dublin, Ireland. Specifically, it refers to an area on Bull Island, a sandy island in Dublin Bay. Dollymount Strand, the beach on Bull Island, is a well-known recreational area and was historically a popular site for events such as rifle matches and other outdoor activities in the 19th century. Today, the area remains a popular spot for beachgoers, birdwatchers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most intriguing and mysterious WPA-era prints we have ever offered, this rare, possibly unique work depicts a group of two women and two men in intense conversation at a crude wood table, in a simple room with cracks in the plaster that show the wood lath underneath. The four almost seem like a group on the lam in a film noir from the period, desperately running from a crime of some kind. Two of the four face downward, deeply focused on the subject at hand, and another is lost in thought, a pipe in his mouth. The fourth is most mysterious of all, facing away from the viewer. but clearly animated and in conversation. The artist was Alice Harold Murphy...
