EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the 19th century captures a delightful winter scene. In the midst of a snowy landscape, a group of children can be seen enjoying their time on an icy pond. The focus of the image is on a young girl gracefully gliding across the ice, her skates leaving delicate marks behind her. Surrounding her are other children bundled up in warm clothing, eagerly watching or participating in this popular seasonal activity. A small puppy playfully runs alongside them, adding to the joyful atmosphere. The print also showcases elements of traditional medicine and advertising from that era. Prominently displayed in the foreground is an advertisement card for a medicinal syrup, emphasizing its benefits for infants and promoting it as a trusted remedy. Ribbons with various colors and patterns are tied around some children's wrists or necks, possibly serving as decorative accessories or symbols of good health. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into life during the late 19th century when ice skating was not only considered a sport but also served as entertainment during wintertime. It reminds us of simpler times when children found joy in outdoor activities amidst nature's beauty.
