EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Winter in the Engadine: a Tailing Party at Davos Platz, 1897" takes us back to a bygone era of elegance and winter festivities. The scene depicts a joyous gathering amidst the picturesque Engadine region, known for its breathtaking landscapes and luxurious resorts. In this enchanting image, we witness a group of Victorian-era revelers engaging in the popular winter sport of "tailing" where skiers are pulled along on sledges by horses or dogs. The participants, dressed impeccably in their vintage attire, exude an air of sophistication as they glide gracefully across the snow-covered terrain. The illustrative technique employed in this engraved print adds depth and texture to every detail captured. Each stroke tells a story, transporting us to a time when such gatherings were highly anticipated social events filled with merriment and camaraderie. As we admire this historic artwork from the Liszt Collection's archives, we are reminded of how art can serve as a window into history and culture. This retro-styled masterpiece allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also gain insight into societal norms and recreational pursuits during that period. Let this vintage engraving transport you back in time to experience firsthand the charm and allure of winter celebrations in Switzerland's Engadine region over a century ago.
