1879 Hour Miles Mountain Side Sledge Sledging Swiss Twenty Games Whizz


EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Thrilling Ride: Two English Schoolgirls Sledging in Switzerland, 1879" This photograph captures the exhilarating moment of two English schoolgirls as they glide down a snow-covered Swiss mountainside at an astonishing twenty miles an hour. Dressed in thick coats and hats, they cling to the side of their traditional wooden sledge, their faces filled with excitement and delight. The winter landscape surrounding them is breathtaking, with snow-capped mountains in the background and a serene forest in the foreground. The year is 1879, and sledging was a popular pastime for the affluent classes during the winter months. The girls' elegant attire and the ornate design of their sledge suggest that they belong to a well-to-do family. The image not only showcases the joy and thrill of the activity but also highlights the contrast between the girls' refined appearance and the raw, natural beauty of the winter landscape. The photograph's composition is expertly balanced, with the girls positioned towards the left side of the frame, allowing the vast mountains and forest to dominate the right half of the image. The girls' sledge tracks, leading from the top of the frame, add depth and a sense of motion to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of winter sports and the simple pleasure of sledging, which continues to be enjoyed by generations. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the lives of English schoolgirls during the late 19th century and the winter activities that brought them joy.
