ROLLER SKATING, 1885 - A Glimpse into New York City's Upper Class Recreation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1885 takes us back to the late 19th century in Manhattan, where roller skating was all the rage among the city's elite. The image depicts a fashionable young woman gracefully gliding on rollers at an indoor rink. Her exquisite dress and bonnet reflect the latest trends of the time, showcasing the opulence and elegance associated with upper-class society during America's Gilded Age. The artist behind this enchanting print is Thure de Thulstrup, whose attention to detail brings this scene to life. From the intricate engravings on wooden skates to every fold of fabric in our belle's dress, his artistry captures both beauty and movement. Roller skating emerged as a popular recreational activity for men and women alike during this era. It provided an opportunity for socializing while indulging in physical exercise—a perfect combination for those seeking leisurely pursuits. As we admire this snapshot of history, it serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid industrialization and urban development, people found ways to enjoy themselves within bustling cities like New York. This wood engraving transports us back in time—inviting us to witness not only a moment of joyous recreation but also glimpse into an era defined by glamour and sophistication.
