EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of winter sports in Switzerland during the 1920s. The image, titled "Winter Sports at Murren, Switzerland," showcases a group of holiday-makers enjoying the snowy landscape of Murren, a popular winter resort in the Swiss Alps. In the foreground, Commander Locker-Lampson and his wife pose on a sledge, their hats and scarves adding a touch of warmth to the chilly scene. Behind them, Viscount Gort and Dr. and Mrs. Walpole can be seen happily skiing, their skis and poles glinting in the sunlight. At the bottom of the photograph, the Oxford University Ice Hockey team gathers for a group portrait, all wearing their team uniforms and hats. The team's name and the year "1924" are inscribed on a wooden sign at the edge of the image. The snowy terrain, the winter sports equipment, and the stylish clothing of the participants all contribute to a sense of nostalgia and historical charm. This photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of winter sports in Switzerland and the joy and camaraderie they bring to people. Whether sledging, skiing, or playing ice hockey, the participants in this photograph embody the spirit of adventure and excitement that comes with embracing the winter season. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the traditions of winter sports in Switzerland during the early 20th century.
