This lithograph titled "Man overboard, a rescue at sea" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a dramatic moment in history. The print showcases an intense scene of swimmers diving into the water to save a man who has fallen overboard. The image is part of a collection that was featured in the book "Swimming" by Archibald Sinclair and William Henry, published by Longmans, Green in 1893. It beautifully illustrates the importance of swimming as both a pastime and sport during this era. Intriguingly detailed, this historical artwork transports us to a time when swimming was not only enjoyed for pleasure but also served as an essential skill for safety at sea. The bravery and determination depicted on each swimmer's face are palpable, reminding us of the courage required to rescue someone from perilous waters.
