1876 Boating Ladylike Recreational Rowing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a scene from 1876 of four elegant ladies and a young man enjoying a leisurely row on the water. The group appears to be dressed in their finest attire, with the women wearing long dresses and bonnets, exuding an air of sophistication even while engaging in a recreational activity.
The image provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing how people in the late 19th century would spend their free time. Rowing was a popular form of transport and recreation during this time period, allowing individuals to enjoy the outdoors while getting some exercise.
Despite being dressed in such ladylike fashion, these women show that they are not afraid to partake in physical activities typically associated with men. The presence of the young man suggests that this may have been a social outing or perhaps even a romantic excursion.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this historical moment beautifully, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when boating was not just about speed or competition but rather about enjoying nature's beauty and each other's company. It is truly a timeless depiction of leisure and camaraderie on the water.
