A George III silver badge for the Edinburgh Skating SocietyBy Dick & McPherson, Edinburgh, circa 1808, no date letter Oval, the overse engraved with a pair of crossed ice skates with their ribbons untied, the motto 'OCIOR EURO' in a banner above. Reverse engraved 'Edinburgh Skating Society' with the name 'Thos. Megget WS, 28th Dec. 1808', height 6cm.Footnotes:The Edinburgh Skating Club which generally met on Duddingston Loch or Lochend, originally styled itself as the 'Skating Society' and was the world's first figure skating organization and one of the very earliest sports clubs. Though no formal records exist before 1778, it was probably established at some time in the 1740's (and was possibly in existence for even a century before then). The Club's motto 'Ocior Euro' ('Swifter Than the East Wind'), a quotation from Horace's Odes, was an expression of the classical learning espoused by many of its members. Another manifestation of the period known as the Scottish Enlightenment, it was egalitarian by nature (though membership conferred certain social advantages). Those who were admitted were drawn from many walks of life and stratas of society. 18th Century Edinburgh saw a proliferation in the establishment of all sorts of social, intellectual and cultural clubs. The Musical Society of Edinburgh, with whom the Edinburgh Skating Club shared forty members, was established in 1728; The Easy Club (also known as the 'Free and Easy Club' in 1712; The Select Society in 1754; The Poker Club in 1762 etc. Members are listed in the Edinburgh Skating Club's records with their profession beside their name (where appropriate); many are gentry, but there are also 'Writers to the Signet' (solicitors), other lawyers, soldiers and surgeons, architects, bankers and merchants. It has been argued, quite plausibly, that skating represented a comprehensive embodiment of enlightenment principals:- members were admitted on merit; had to demonstrate skill to join; gained joy and fellowship through a harmless physical activity; communed with nature and, through practice, attained elegance, agility and poise. They endeavoured to 'skate together in concert'1 and to achieve the improbable feet of moving gracefully across ice at speed (thereby demonstrating man's triumph over the elements). By the mid-19th Century the Club had Royal patronage (firstly Prince Albert in the 1860's and then, after his death, the Prince and Princess of Wales (later Edward VII and Queen Alexandra)).An initial list of thirty-nine members was complied by some amongst their number from memory and recorded in the Club's earliest extant minutes which are dated January 1778. These thirty-nine constitute the earliest known membership and, as they were already participating in the Club's activities, their names were minuted without any date for their admission. Their badges seem to have been undated accordingly (subsequent members were noted down in the minutes with a date for their election and often (though not always) their badges bear a corresponding date). The very first name on the list is 'Commissioner Clark Maxwell' (i.e. Sir George Clerk Maxwell (1715–1784), an enlightened landowner, Commissioner of Customs and a founder member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh). Another member of this exclusive early group of thirty-nine was 'Mr John Balfour, Bookseller' (being John Balfour (1715-1796), a partner in the printing/publishing firm Hamilton, Balfour & Neil and a key member of the18th-Century Scottish Enlightenment book trade). The emergence of this badge engraved for 'Mr Jas Ramsay' confirms the identity of another of the earliest members, which it was only possible for previous authors to speculate on. Ramsay appears as the last name on the first list as 'Mr Ramsay, Slater' (i.e. he ran a business specializing in roofing materials). This left doubt as to his identity and whether he was Alexander Ramsay (d.1787) or James.The National Museums of Scotland hold a handful of undated badges for the following early members: 'Mr Matt. Sandilands' (another on the initial list of thirty-nine members already admitted before 1778); 'Patrick Anderson' (admitted on January 19th 1778); 'James Dewar' [of Vogrie] (admitted on January 1789); and 'Thos. Hogg' (an unrecorded early member, (possibly Thomas Hogg (c.1720-84)) who had possibly ceased to skate before the 1778 list was compiled). A further undated badge for Andrew Bonar appeared at auction in 2012 2 (Bonar was elected to the Club in January 1784).In the early years, members were responsible for sourcing their own badges (sometimes called 'medals') and there is great variation in their appearance. Those belonging to Matthew Sandilands and Thomas Hogg are almost identical (though slightly smaller) to James Ramsay's badge here. All three have the same idiosyncratic spelling of 'Skateing'. A badge with the engraved date of '1792' belonging to 'Jas Home' corresponds to the admission date of Dr James Home (1760-1844) (Professor of Medicine at Edinburgh University). We do not know from where these members obtained their insignia, however, a second badge belonging to James Dewar, also held by National Museums Scotland, has a date of '1801'. This badge has an Edinburgh hallmark and is struck with the maker's mark 'ID' (for the silversmith 'James Dempster'), which may give a clue to a possible maker for the early badges. A similar silver badge dated 1790 for the convivial club known as the 'Helter Skelter Club' (once thought purely to have been a fictitious creation of Sir Walter Scott) bears a 'PR' maker's mark for the Edinburgh silversmith Patrick Robertson, suggesting another possible candidate for the manufacture. It should also be noted that the badge here, along with the other oval badges of the very earliest members, is of an identical form and with highly comparable engraving to the known insignia of the silver members' badges of the 'Free and Easy Club' which also date to the 1770's and 1780's. These were certainly made by the same, as yet unidentified, silversmith.There are two celebrated paintings of Edinburgh Skating Club members from this earliest period: Gilbert Stuart's 'The Skater' (1782) [Fig 1] and 'Rev Walker Skating' (circa 1790's), attributed to Henry Raeburn [Fig 2]. Stuart's 'The Skater' is a portrait of William Grant (1750-1821) who, along with James Ramsay, was one of the pre-1778 members of the Edinburgh Skating Club. Rev Robert Walker (1755-1808) was admitted to the Club in January 1780. Both of these men would have owned similar medals to that here and they would have worn them whilst skating. In the Club's rules (as set out in 1865) any Member who did not wear their 'medal' whilst on the ice or at club meetings, dinners etc was liable to pay a fine of 2s. 6d to the Treasurer.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
