EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 18th century, showcasing a scene of ice skating from Eduard Fuchs' renowned book "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte Vom Mittelalter Bis Zur Gegenwart" published in 1909. The image captures the essence of this popular winter sport, depicting skaters gracefully gliding across a frozen lake surrounded by a picturesque outdoor setting. In this snapshot of history, we witness both the joy and danger that accompanied ice skating during this era. Skaters are seen enjoying their hobby with great enthusiasm, but also experiencing occasional mishaps and falls. One skater has slipped and fallen onto the icy surface, revealing their legs as they struggle to regain balance amidst laughter from fellow enthusiasts. The image transports us to an age when ice skating was not only a recreational activity but also an integral part of daily life for many individuals. It offers a glimpse into the worldly pleasures enjoyed by people in the eighteenth century, where even moments of vulnerability were embraced with humor and camaraderie. Ken Welsh's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate both the skillful artistry displayed by these old-fashioned skaters and the sheer fun they derived from gliding on thin blades over frozen water. This timeless depiction serves as a reminder that despite changing times, some activities like ice skating continue to bring joy throughout generations.
