EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century in London, where we are granted a glimpse into the interior of a bustling swimming school. The image, captured by the talented but unknown artist of that time, showcases a lively scene filled with swimmers engrossed in their aquatic activities. The swimming pool itself is grand and inviting, reflecting the architectural style of British establishments during this era. Its pristine waters beckon both young and old to dive in and enjoy its refreshing embrace. The atmosphere appears casual yet focused as individuals practice various natation techniques under the watchful eye of their instructors. The composition exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us to a different time when swimming was not only seen as a recreational activity but also an essential skill for survival. This engraving serves as a testament to London's dedication towards promoting physical fitness and water safety during this period. Leonard de Selva has masterfully preserved this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage associated with swimming schools in England. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of aquatic education while cherishing our connection to those who paved the way for modern-day swim instruction.
