Unchilled Enthusiasm, Bathing in the Serpentine during the Late Frost
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving by Phil May captures a moment of unbridled enthusiasm amidst an unusual setting. The scene depicts early morning bathers taking a daring plunge into the icy waters of the Serpentine during a late frost. Clad in queer costumes, these adventurous individuals defy convention and embrace the thrill of breaking through frozen barriers. The image transports us to a time when such acts were considered dangerous and unconventional. As first comers to this frozen landscape, they embody both bravery and audacity. Their determination to swim despite the treacherous conditions showcases their unwavering spirit. The park setting evokes memories of Baden in Germany, where bathing culture has long been celebrated. It is reminiscent of Germanic traditions that have shaped European sporting practices for centuries. These swimmers epitomize the resilience and passion associated with German sportsmanship. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how sport transcends boundaries and connects people across cultures. Whether as sportswomen or sportsmen, these individuals demonstrate their commitment to teamwork and field sports even in challenging circumstances. May's engraving invites us to reflect on our own capacity for unchilled enthusiasm - that indomitable spirit that propels us forward despite obstacles or adverse conditions. In this frozen moment captured by Bridgeman Images, we witness not only physical endurance but also an embodiment of human tenacity and determination.
