EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and elegance of Florence "Madge" Syers and her husband Edgar Syers as they glide effortlessly on the ice at the Princes Skating Club in London, England, in 1908. Madge, a British figure skating champion, is shown in her prime, her flowing white dress and matching hat accentuating her poise and balance as she executes a perfect spin. Her husband and coach, Edgar Syers, looks on with pride and support, his arms crossed as he watches his wife's every move. The occasion for this skating demonstration was in aid of the Our Dumb Friends League, a charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of animals. The Princes Skating Club, a historic figure skating institution, provided the perfect setting for this charming event. Figure skating was a popular winter sport during this era, and the Syers were among the most celebrated figures in the skating world. Madge Syers was a trailblazer in women's figure skating, becoming the first British woman to win a European figure skating title and the first woman to perform a double axel jump in competition. Her husband, Edgar, was a renowned coach and figure skater in his own right, having won several national championships and representing Great Britain in international competitions. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of figure skating and the role that charitable events played in the community during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and grace of the sport, as well as the dedication and passion of its champions and supporters.
