(American 19th/20th century)
Four illustrations featuring skaters: [Skating on the Ladies Skating Pond In the Central Park, New York], 1860, [Skating At Boston], [Our National Winter Exercise-Skating], 1866, Winslow Homer (1836-1910), wood engravings, each approximately 13-3/4 x 20-1/2 in.; Cover for [The Daily Graphic], New York, Saturday, December 5, 1874, No.545, signed in plate "Gray-Parker", engraving, 19-1/4 x 12-3/4 in.; framed, 20-1/2 x 26-7/8 in.
Note:When the ladies Skating-Pond first opened in December 1858, the area attracted upwards of three hundred skaters. Within the course of a week, the number grew to ten thousand. This area of the park would soon be surrounded by several genteel structures to accommodate the ladies, including a Ladies Pavilion, the decorative Bow Bridge, and the nearby Bethesda Fountain. This scene appeared in Harper's Weekly on January 28, 1860, just a year after the Ladies Pond opened:
The Ladies' Pond is reserved for the fair sex, and no gentlemen are allowed to skate on it unless they are accompanied by ladies. It is kept in good order, and policemen on skates effectually repress all tendencies to rowdyism...The scene when the ladies are on the pond is attractive in the extreme, and usually draws a large concourse of visitors.
