EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Somersaults" takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing a reproduction of a woodcut from that era. The image is part of the book "Exercises in Leaping and Vaulting" by A. Tuccaro, published in the 19th century. In this horizontal composition, we witness a thrilling competition unfolding before our eyes. Gymnasts dressed in medieval attire showcase their incredible skills as they perform somersaults and vaults with grace and precision. Their costumes reflect the fashion of the middle ages, adding an extra layer of historical significance to this snapshot. The black and white sketch-like quality adds depth to these illustrations, transporting us into a world where physical exercise was not only seen as recreation but also as a form of entertainment. These gymnastic games were popular pastimes during those times. As we admire this piece, it's hard not to be amazed by the athleticism displayed by these individuals who effortlessly execute handstands and leaps while wearing garments specific for such activities. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found joy and amusement through physical exertion. Ken Welsh's attention to detail brings life to these engravings from yesteryears, allowing us to appreciate both their historical value and artistic beauty.
