EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the excitement and energy of aquatic sports at Pietermaritzburg, Natal. The focal point of the image is the start of a thrilling tub race, where participants eagerly await the signal to begin their watery challenge. The scene is filled with anticipation as spectators line the riverbanks, cheering on their favorite competitors. The atmosphere is electric, with a sense of camaraderie and friendly competition permeating the air. The artist has skillfully depicted every detail - from the determined expressions on the racers' faces to the ripples in the water created by their eager movements. Pietermaritzburg's natural beauty serves as a stunning backdrop for this exhilarating event. Lush greenery surrounds both sides of the river, enhancing its tranquil yet vibrant ambiance. This idyllic setting adds an element of serenity amidst all the action taking place. Dating back to 1892, this engraving offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when aquatic sports were highly celebrated social events. It not only showcases South Africa's rich sporting history but also highlights how communities came together to enjoy leisure activities in picturesque locations like Pietermaritzburg. Preserved through time and now part of private collection, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, our love for sports and our desire for connection remain timeless aspects of human nature.
