EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a charming portrait of a little skier, frozen in time as a New Year greeting card from 1918. The front side proudly displays the inscription "Die besten Neujahrsgrüße" which translates to "The best New Year greetings" in German. It is adorned with intricate details and exudes an air of nostalgia. The young skier, dressed in fashionable winter attire, dons a hat that adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble. His scarf is wrapped snugly around his neck, protecting him from the chilly winter winds. With an air of confidence and determination, he poses for this timeless image. On the back side of the card, there is a personal dedication written by someone who sent this heartfelt message from Oldenburg, Germany on December 31st, 1918. This detail gives us insight into the historical context surrounding this photograph and allows us to imagine the sender's excitement as they wished their loved ones well for the upcoming year. As we gaze upon this scene today, it serves as a reminder of how sports like skiing have transcended generations and continue to bring joy during wintertime. The child's innocent expression reflects both his love for skiing and his anticipation for new beginnings. Preserved by Alinari, an unidentified author captured not only an exquisite moment but also encapsulated the spirit of hope that accompanies each new year. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own aspirations while appreciating those who came before us and celebrated life's simple pleasures amidst challenging times.
