The End of the Boating Season - A Glimpse into Victorian Leisure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The end of the boating season: scene at Molesey Lock on the River Thames, Surrey" offers a fascinating glimpse into late 19th-century British society. Created by Enoch Ward in 1892 for Black & White magazine, this print captures a moment of transition as summer fades away and boaters bid farewell to their beloved pastime. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Molesey Lock on the River Thames, we see men and women leisurely strolling along the riverbank. Dressed in fashionable Victorian attire, they exude an air of sophistication and elegance. Children frolic nearby, their youthful energy adding a touch of innocence to this idyllic scene. A model yacht gracefully sails across the water while a tugboat waits patiently at one end of the lock gates. These vessels symbolize different modes of transportation during that era – from recreational sailing to commercial trade. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that Ward's intention was not only to depict a charming riverside setting but also to capture a snapshot of British history. The presence of German visitors suggests cultural exchange between nations during this time period. Intriguing and rich with historical detail, this lithograph transports us back in time to experience an era when boating was not just a means of transport but also an integral part of British leisure culture.
