EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the excitement and energy of a coracle race on the majestic River Severn, at Ironbridge in Shropshire. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a thrilling moment frozen in time. The scene is filled with rowers skillfully maneuvering their small, round coracles through the rushing waters. The participants are fully immersed in the race, their determination evident on their faces as they paddle furiously towards victory. Spectators line the riverbanks, cheering on their favorite competitors and adding to the electric atmosphere. Ironbridge's iconic structure looms proudly in the background, serving as a reminder of both history and innovation. This engineering marvel adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already captivating image. Published originally in The Illustrated London News on September 10th, 1881, this engraving offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when traditional water sports like coracle racing were celebrated events that brought communities together. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this artwork invites us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with competitive sports – even those that may seem unconventional today.
