EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of New York City in 1885. It showcases a moment of pure joy and elegance as a stylish young woman glides gracefully on roller skates inside an indoor rink. The wood engraving, created by Thure de Thulstrup, beautifully captures the spirit of this popular recreational activity during that era. The scene is bustling with energy, with men and women dressed in fashionable attire watching from the sidelines. The Belle On Rollers stands out among them all, her upper-class dress adorned with a delicate corsage and a bonnet adding to her charm. Her confident stance reflects both her skill on wheels and her status within society. Roller skating was not only a form of entertainment but also an expression of freedom for women at the time. This image symbolizes their growing independence and desire for new experiences beyond traditional societal norms. As we admire this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how fashion, recreation, and art intersected to create cultural moments that shaped American history. Thanks to The Granger Collection's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate these glimpses into our past today.
