EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a thrilling water polo match at the Crown Baths in Kennington Oval, London. The image showcases the bustling atmosphere of this popular swimming venue, with people gathered around the pool's edge eagerly watching the intense competition unfold. The artist skillfully depicts the action-packed scene, with players fiercely battling for control of the ball amidst splashing waves. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering focus as they navigate through the water with agility and strength. Spectators lean over railings or stand on tiptoes to catch a glimpse of every exhilarating moment. The interior of Crown Baths is beautifully rendered, showcasing its grandeur and sophistication. Ornate pillars line the sides of the pool while elegant arches frame large windows that allow natural light to flood in. This combination creates an ambiance that is both refined and inviting. Published in The Graphic on August 23rd, 1890, this print captures not only a sporting event but also provides us with a fascinating glimpse into Victorian-era leisure activities. It reminds us of how sports have always been able to bring people together - whether it be players competing passionately or spectators cheering enthusiastically from afar. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this engraving serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with both sport and art throughout time.
