The Bath Club Swimming Competitions, Ladies Night
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant energy and elegance of a bygone era. This lithographic print, created by Samuel Begg in 1897, transports us to a time when swimming pools were not just places for exercise but also social hubs. In this enchanting scene, we see women clad in fashionable swimwear gracefully gliding through the water. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as spectators cheer on their favorite competitors from the poolside. The intricately detailed engraving showcases every ripple and splash, immersing us in the action. The Bath Club itself was renowned for its opulent facilities and prestigious events. As ladies take center stage during this particular competition night, it becomes evident that swimming was not solely reserved for men at this exclusive establishment. Women embraced their newfound freedom to participate in sports previously dominated by their male counterparts. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration in The Illustrated London News, capturing a momentous occasion that celebrated both athleticism and societal progress. Today, it serves as a treasured piece of history—a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and leisure activities. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork within its private collection—an homage to an era where swimming competitions became glamorous affairs filled with camaraderie and spirited competition.
