EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The backward somersault" takes us back to the 19th century when swimming was not only a pastime but also an art form. The print showcases the skill and grace of swimmers as they perform a daring feat in the water. In this historical snapshot, we witness a group of swimmers executing perfect backward somersaults with precision and elegance. Their bodies twist gracefully through the air before plunging into the cool depths below. Each swimmer is captured mid-air, frozen in time for us to marvel at their athleticism. This image serves as a reminder of how swimming has evolved over time, from being simply a means of survival to becoming a popular sport enjoyed by many. It highlights the joy and pleasure that people have found in immersing themselves in water throughout history. "The backward somersault" litho transports us to an era where leisure activities were cherished moments of escape from daily life's hustle and bustle. It invites us to appreciate both the physical prowess required for such acrobatics and the sheer delight experienced by those who partook in these aquatic endeavors. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let it inspire us to embrace our own passions and find joy in every moment, just like these swimmers did all those years ago.
