Ticket for One Swim

Wood engraving print by Duncan Montgomery. Part of a series of prints made in collaboration with the cultural historian George Townsend, exploring the history of public bathing in the ponds on Hampstead Heath and at Parson’s Pleasure on the River Cherwell in Oxford.

Parson’s Pleasure, a centuries-old bathing place for men, closed in the early 1990s. Duncan says the building in the middle of the print is based on a rustic shack called “the cottage” which stood at Parson’s Pleasure for the use of the attendant (hence the pile of towels in the doorway).

Print dimensions: 8x6cms

Edition of 20. Unframed.
