This lithograph from the early 20th century showcases the "Race of Scooter" a remarkable invention used for ice rescue. The image captures the thrilling moment on Fire Island, near New York, where these sail sleighs are put to the test. Published in the renowned French journal "Le petit Parisien" on February 12,1906, this engraving sheds light on an innovative American winter contraption. The scene is shrouded in a haze of excitement as these scooters glide effortlessly across the icy terrain. The artist's attention to detail brings forth a sense of urgency and adventure that was characteristic of this era. With their sails billowing against the wind, these ingenious devices symbolize hope and salvation amidst treacherous conditions. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly captures this casual yet extraordinary event. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history when inventors were constantly pushing boundaries to save lives during harsh winters in America. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also acknowledge its significance as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. This piece serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, innovation can lead us towards brighter horizons.
