EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hockey on the Ice, a Ladies Match on the Lake in Wimbledon Park" takes us back to a frozen moment in time. Created by Arthur Hopkins in 1893, this print captures the essence of Victorian-era sportsmanship and showcases women's participation in an unconventional winter activity. Set against the backdrop of a serene frozen lake in London's Wimbledon Park, this image transports us to a bygone era where ladies clad in long skirts gracefully glide across the ice. With their hair neatly tied up and sporting determined expressions, these women challenge societal norms as they engage fervently in a game of hockey. The artist skillfully depicts the excitement and energy of the match through intricate details. The players' poised stances convey both concentration and determination while their sticks expertly maneuver pucks across the icy surface. Spectators huddle together at one end of the lake, eagerly watching every move with anticipation. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving serves as a testament to female empowerment during a time when gender roles were rigidly defined. It celebrates these trailblazing women who defied convention to pursue their passion for sport despite societal expectations. Preserved within private collections today, this historical artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration for those brave enough to challenge tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene from over a century ago, we are reminded that strength knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by frozen lakes or society itself.
