EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of London in Winter, as depicted in this evocative photograph from 1914, taken at the Princes Skating Club in Knightsbridge. The scene is one of pure joy and leisure, as a couple glides gracefully across the ice, their breath visible in the crisp winter air. The romantic atmosphere is further enhanced by the sight of another couple taking tea on the promenade, their steaming cups offering a welcome respite from the cold. In the background, skaters of all ages and abilities can be seen putting on their skates beneath the Band Stand, while an attentive audience watches on, some with eager anticipation, others with a sense of nostalgia for the simple pleasures of the season. The elegant bandstand, adorned with intricate carvings and festive decorations, adds to the festive ambiance, as does the twinkling lights and festive decorations that adorn the rink. This charming photograph, captured by renowned artist Fortunino Matania, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Edwardian era and the unique joys of winter in London. The scene is one of warmth, community, and the simple pleasures of skating on a frozen lake, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the city during this magical time of year.
