EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the winter of 1869, capturing a moment of joy and camaraderie on the frozen Lake of Suresnes in Bois de Boulogne, Paris. The skaters gracefully glide across the ice, their movements leaving delicate traces behind them. In this historical snapshot, we witness a popular pastime enjoyed by French society during the 19th century. Ice skating was not only a sport but also a social event where people gathered to showcase their skills and mingle with others. The frozen lake provided an enchanting backdrop for this winter activity. The image is an illustration from the February 6 edition of the Illustrated London News, offering us a glimpse into how people entertained themselves during that era. It serves as an archival treasure that reminds us of our rich cultural heritage. As we admire this old photograph, it's fascinating to imagine ourselves transported back in time – feeling the crisp air against our cheeks and hearing laughter echoing across the icy expanse. This image captures both history and nostalgia, reminding us of simpler times when nature itself became an arena for leisurely pursuits. Whether you are an ice skating enthusiast or simply appreciate glimpses into our past, this archival print brings together elements of artistry, history, and human connection through its depiction of these elegant French skaters on that wintry day long ago in Paris.
