EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored aquatint engraving, titled 'Interior of a Swimming School, Paris,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of aquatic activities and education in the early 19th century. The image, credited to Victor Auver and taken from 'A Tour through Paris' published in London in 1825, depicts a bustling swimming school located within the Pont Louis XVI bridge in Paris. The interior of the swimming school is filled with a lively scene of men engaged in various swimming and diving activities. In the foreground, a man sits on the edge of the pool, donning a swimming costume and drying off with a towel. Behind him, several other men are submerged in the pool, some practicing their strokes while others dive gracefully into the water. The pool itself is surrounded by spectators, who watch intently from the balcony above, observing the swimmers with great interest. The tradesmen and workers in the background add to the bustling atmosphere, further emphasizing the popularity and importance of swimming in Parisian society during this time. The intricate handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, bringing the scene to life and transporting us back to the historical moment. The image provides a unique insight into the swimming culture of Paris in the early 1800s and the role that swimming schools played in promoting aquatic activities and physical fitness.
