EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Rescue on the Serpentine by the Royal Humane Society's Men" we are transported back to 19th century London. The image, an engraving by Edward Hull, captures a dramatic moment of heroism and bravery in Hyde Park's Serpentine lake. The scene unfolds with utmost urgency as members of the Royal Humane Society rush to save a life. With their determined expressions and swift movements, these courageous men embody the spirit of lifesaving. Their selflessness is palpable as they navigate through the choppy waters, battling against time and nature's elements. The Serpentine itself serves as both a picturesque backdrop and a treacherous obstacle. Its shimmering surface reflects not only sunlight but also the gravity of the situation at hand. As spectators gather along its banks, their faces etched with concern and hope, one can almost hear their collective prayers for a successful rescue. This powerful illustration was originally featured in the Illustrated Times on January 26th, 1861 - forever capturing this extraordinary act of valor for generations to come. It stands as a testament to human compassion and reminds us that even in times long past, there were individuals willing to risk everything for another's well-being. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from our private collection today, let it serve as an inspiration - urging us all to be ready to lend a helping hand when others are in need; reminding us that acts of heroism transcend time and place.
