EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Punting, correct positions" captures a moment frozen in time from the early 20th century. The print showcases the art of punting, a traditional English boating technique that requires skill and precision. In this educational illustration created for The Harmsworth Encyclopedia in 1922, we witness the various stages of punting demonstrated by an anonymous English School artist. From the beginning stroke to half finish and recovering pole, every step is meticulously depicted with accuracy. The image portrays a punter gracefully throwing their weight forward while gripping onto the long pole used to propel the boat through shallow waters. Their body language exudes focus and determination as they navigate their way along a serene riverbank. This historic artwork not only serves as a visual guide for those interested in learning about punting but also provides insight into early 20th-century knowledge and practices. It reminds us of simpler times when leisurely activities like boating were cherished pastimes. Preserved within private collections, this lithograph continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. Its detailed depiction invites us to appreciate both the technical aspects of punting and its historical significance as part of England's cultural heritage.
