EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Action, 1881" captures a moment of courtship and chivalry in the bustling roller rink of the Belle Époque era. Created by Max Klinger, a renowned German artist, this etching is part of his series called "Ein Handschuh" or "A Glove". The image depicts a man and woman engaged in an elegant pursuit on roller skates. In this vibrant scene, the male figure can be seen chasing after a fallen glove dropped by the female skater. Their graceful movements and playful interaction showcase the leisurely pastime enjoyed by couples during this time period. The intricate details captured in Klinger's artwork highlight not only the skillful technique but also evoke a sense of fun and excitement. The composition transports us to a park-like setting where couples gather for socializing and recreation. Roller skating was considered one of the popular sports during that era, providing an opportunity for people to engage in physical activity while enjoying each other's company. This print offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century social history as well as showcasing Klinger's mastery in capturing movement and emotion through his art. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of a beloved pastime from long ago.
