EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Skating Championship Meetings in the Fens" takes us back to a frosty winter day in the 19th century. The image, created by an English School artist, captures the thrilling atmosphere of a championship meeting held on Cowbit Wash in Spalding, Lincolnshire. As we gaze at the print, our eyes are drawn to the graceful figures gliding across the frozen expanse of water. Ice skating enthusiasts from all walks of life have gathered here for this prestigious amateur championship event. Their vibrant outfits and elegant movements create a mesmerizing spectacle against the wintry backdrop. The location itself adds to the charm of this scene - Cowbit Wash is nestled within the enchanting Fens region, known for its vast marshlands and serene beauty. Swavesey and Cambridge can be seen in the distance, reminding us that this gathering has attracted participants from far and wide. This historic illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on January 15th, 1887. It offers us a glimpse into a time when ice skating was not only a recreational activity but also an occasion for competitive sportsmanship. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this snapshot from history as part of their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. This print serves as both a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and an invitation to marvel at moments frozen in time.
