EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant Second-class swimming certificate awarded by the Urban District Council of Rugby in 1915. The certificate, skillfully rendered through colour lithography by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, is now part of a private collection curated by Valerie Jackson Harris. The image depicts a group of young boys proudly displaying their proficiency in swimming. Among them stands George Rathbone, a determined twelve-year-old who successfully completed his examination to earn this prestigious second-class distinction. Their youthful enthusiasm radiates as they hold up their certificates while standing beside a picturesque sea backdrop. The significance of this certificate extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it symbolizes the importance placed on water sports and physical prowess during that era. It serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work these boys put into honing their swimming skills. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era where ball games were not just pastimes but also tests of strength and agility. This print captures both the joyous camaraderie among these young athletes and the pride they feel for achieving such recognition. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly preserved this historical gem, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its cultural significance within the realm of sports and recreation.
