The First Day of the Season
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the start of a new season. This artwork, created by an unknown English School artist, showcases a group of elegantly dressed women eagerly gathering for their first day of sporting activities. The scene is filled with youthful energy as these women engage in various sports, particularly tennis. Their vibrant dresses and stylish hats add a touch of sophistication to this outdoor setting. The artist skillfully captures their animated expressions and graceful movements, highlighting their enthusiasm for this long-awaited occasion. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 9th, 1891. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of leisurely pursuits during that era. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the lives of upper-class women who embraced physical activity as part of their social engagements. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its cultural significance. "The First Day of the Season" reminds us that sports have always been more than just physical exercise; they serve as avenues for connection, camaraderie, and self-expression across generations. As we admire this engraving today, it invites us to reflect on our own experiences at the beginning of each season – whether it be springtime or any other time when fresh opportunities arise – reminding us to embrace new beginnings with enthusiasm and joy
