EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph showcases the prestigious Clarke medal, a symbol of excellence in the world of swimming. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to a time when swimming was not only a pastime but also an esteemed sport. It captures the essence of history and nostalgia, reminding us of the rich heritage that surrounds this beloved activity. Intriguingly, this lithograph was originally commissioned as an illustration for "Swimming" by Archibald Sinclair and William Henry. The book, published by Longmans, Green in 1893, aimed to celebrate and educate readers about the art and science behind swimming. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in water alongside these historical swimmers. Their graceful movements evoke feelings of pleasure and joy derived from indulging in such physical activities. While it is unclear who exactly received this particular Clarke medal or what their achievements were, its presence serves as a reminder that dedication and skill are timeless qualities celebrated throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece of swimmer's history through their fine art finder platform. This photograph print allows us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate lithographs as well as our human connection to water-based sports across generations.
