EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1891, showcases an extraordinary scene of Victorian ladies engaging in the novel and somewhat comical pastime of roller skating at the renowned Olympia Rink in London. The elegantly dressed women, adorned in their ladylike attire, exhibit a sense of grace and genteel amusement as they glide across the rink, their faces reflecting a mixture of concentration and delight. Despite the air of refinement and leisure, a sign prominently displayed at the rink sternly reminds the ladies that 'fast skating' is 'strictly prohibited.' The notion of women engaging in such a speedy and daring activity was likely considered inappropriate for their delicate sensibilities and social standing during this era. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, where the thrill of a new sport like roller skating was embraced by the upper classes, who sought to incorporate it into their social lives while maintaining their Victorian decorum. The comical juxtaposition of the ladies' elegant attire and the somewhat clumsy and ungainly nature of roller skating adds to the overall charm and intrigue of this photograph.
