Three Men Struggling on Roller Skates, circa 1912, by Mittie Morris This photograph captures the essence of early 20th century leisure activities, as three men attempt to navigate the unfamiliar terrain of roller skates with determination and a touch of humor. Dressed in fashionable attire of the time, each man wears a serious expression as they struggle to maintain their balance, their feet splayed out in an attempt to find purchase on the smooth surface beneath them. The artist, Mittie Morris, expertly captures the moment of frustration and perseverance as these men learn a new skill. Roller skating gained popularity in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with roller rinks becoming a common form of entertainment and social gathering. The roller skates themselves underwent numerous improvements during this time, with the introduction of metal roller skate wheels providing a smoother ride. However, mastering the art of roller skating was no easy feat, as evidenced by the three men in this photograph. Mittie Morris, an accomplished photographer and painter, skillfully documented the human experience, capturing moments of everyday life and the pursuit of leisure. This photograph, taken circa 1912, is a testament to her ability to capture the spirit of the time and the universal experience of learning a new skill. The men in the photograph may be struggling, but their determination and sense of camaraderie shine through, making this a delightful and enduring image.
