EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Alfred Chantrey Corbould, titled "Nubian Sports at the Alexandra Palace" takes us back to a vibrant scene in 19th-century London. The image depicts an exhilarating display of Nubian culture and athleticism within the grand setting of the iconic Alexandra Palace. In this bustling arena, we witness a thrilling spectacle unfold before our eyes. Nubians, dressed in their traditional tribal attire, engage in various sports and activities that showcase their strength and agility. A group of warriors prepares for an intense sword fight while others load spears with precision and determination. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as camel racing takes place on one side of the palace grounds. These magnificent creatures gallop across the sandy terrain, accompanied by cheers from spectators who marvel at their speed and grace. Beyond the sporting events, glimpses into daily life are also captured within this print. We see Nubians tending to their animals - feeding camels and ensuring they are well cared for amidst all the action. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into a specific moment in history but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange during exhibitions held at Alexandra Palace. It reminds us of how art can bridge gaps between different societies, allowing us to appreciate traditions from around the world while celebrating human achievements through sport and camaraderie.
