A rowdy game of foot-ball in the water
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and lively lithograph capturing a unique tradition in Ashburne, England. The print showcases the curious annual event where the townspeople gather to play an exhilarating game of football right in the waters of a small river that runs through their country. The illustration depicts a chaotic scene filled with enthusiastic players, both men and women, splashing through the water as they kick the ball with great enthusiasm. There seems to be no limit on the number of participants, creating an exciting spectacle for all involved. Surrounding the action-packed game are crowds of cheering fans, including children who eagerly watch from nearby streets and bridges. The spray from each kick creates an atmosphere of excitement and curiosity among spectators. Beltrame's artwork beautifully captures not only the spirit of this unusual tradition but also highlights British culture's love for sports and community engagement. The image transports viewers back to 1920 when such events brought people together in celebration and friendly competition. This lithograph serves as a testament to how sports can unite people across generations and create lasting memories within communities. It reminds us that even unconventional games like "foot-ball in the water" have their place in preserving traditions while fostering joyous camaraderie among participants young and old alike.
