This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a serene scene of people boating on the lake in Retiro Park, Madrid. From El Museo Popular's publication in 1889, this illustration beautifully depicts a moment of leisure and recreation amidst the bustling city. The image showcases rowing boats gracefully gliding across the tranquil waters of Estanque pond. The park's lush greenery surrounds the lake, providing a picturesque backdrop for these boaters to enjoy their day out. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can almost feel the gentle breeze and hear the rhythmic sound of oars slicing through water. Retiro Park has always been an oasis within Madrid, offering respite from urban life. This timeless photograph transports us to a bygone era when rowing on this very lake was considered one of society's most cherished pastimes. Ken Welsh's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also how recreational activities have evolved over time. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought solace and joy in simple pleasures such as boating on peaceful lakes like this one.
