EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The bell-race (engraving)" by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, captures an old game being revived at athletic sports. Published in The Graphic on December 17,1887, this engraving brings to life a unique pastime that once enthralled people. In the picture, we witness men engaged in a thrilling race adorned with bells. Their intense expressions and determined postures reveal their dedication to winning. This lively event takes place against the backdrop of Corsica, adding an exotic touch to the scene. "The bell-race" represents not only leisure and entertainment but also reflects European culture and traditions. It offers us a glimpse into French society during that era when such sporting events were cherished as part of their heritage. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork through Fine Art Finder. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of how pastimes have evolved over time while still retaining elements of our shared cultural history.
