EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a humorous and historical moment in British winter sports history. Titled "Weight & See / Whr," the image showcases a new safety ice-tester designed to assess the capacity of frozen ponds to bear the weight of average citizens during skating activities. The year is 1928, and skaters are seen testing out the innovative device under comfortable conditions.
The scene is filled with comedy as individuals glide across the ice, ensuring its stability for others to enjoy safely. The tester, bearing the initials WHR, adds an element of whimsy to this unique sport-testing process.
As we look back on this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of simpler times when winter fun was all about skating on frozen ponds and enjoying outdoor activities with friends and family. The British spirit shines through in this image as citizens come together to ensure their safety while partaking in a beloved pastime.
Credit for this delightful piece goes to Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans - capturing a moment that combines history, humor, and winter sports in one charming photograph.
