EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print titled "Swallow dive" takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically the 1930s. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of army life during that era. It is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the publication "Games and Sports in the Army 1936-37" published by The Army Sport Control Board in London. In this scene, we witness a group of troops engaged in various recreational activities. Amidst their duties as combat units, they find solace and enjoyment through games like billiards or pool. A player is shown skillfully aiming his cue stick while others observe with anticipation. This parlour game offers them a brief respite from their military responsibilities. Beyond billiards, this artwork also hints at other sports prevalent within army culture during that time period. We catch glimpses of swimmers diving into crystal-clear waters and scuba divers exploring beneath its surface. These field sports not only provided physical exercise but also fostered camaraderie among soldiers. The lithograph technique employed here adds depth to the illustration's details, enhancing its overall visual impact. As we gaze upon this historic piece, it transports us back to an era when leisure activities were cherished amidst military duty—a reminder that even amidst challenging times, moments of joy can be found.
