Buff Furs Parisian Skates Skating Sporting
EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the frosty chill of an 1890 Parisian winter, this enchanting image showcases the elegance and grace of a young lady as she glides effortlessly across the ice. Dressed in the height of fashionable attire for the era, she dons a voluminous, fur-trimmed buff coat, keeping her warm against the biting cold. Her skates, adorned with intricate floral designs, reflect the delicate beauty of the season. Atop her head, a charming floral hat adds a touch of whimsy to her ensemble. The young Parisian woman's ice skates, an essential accessory for winter sports during the 19th century, were a symbol of sophistication and leisure. Ice skating was a popular pastime among the upper classes, and this image captures the essence of the sporting lady, her poised and confident demeanor a testament to her skill and grace. The 1890s marked a time of innovation and progress, and the world of sports was no exception. Ice skates underwent significant improvements during this period, with the introduction of steel runners and more effective binding systems, allowing for smoother and more efficient gliding. This young lady, with her stylish attire and mastery of the ice, embodies the spirit of the era – a time of beauty, elegance, and the pursuit of enjoyment amidst the winter season.
