EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming handcoloured etching from 1864, depicting a scene of women and girls enjoying a swim in a Victorian pool. The image captures the innocence and joy of a bygone era, where modesty was key even when taking part in recreational activities.
The full body bathing suits worn by the ladies are a stark contrast to today's skimpy swimwear, reflecting the conservative values of the time. Despite their cumbersome attire, the women and girls seem to be having a delightful time diving, swimming, and playing in the water.
John Leech's satirical touch adds an element of humor to the scene, poking fun at societal norms and expectations surrounding female behavior. The exaggerated expressions on the faces of the swimmers hint at mischief and lightheartedness.
This print serves as a window into history, offering us a glimpse into how leisure activities were enjoyed during the Victorian era. It is a reminder that while times may change, some things remain constant - like the simple pleasure of spending time with friends and family in pursuit of happiness.
