EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Acrobatics in the Ice" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of beauty, grace, and athleticism. The European photographer skillfully freezes time as we witness a breathtaking performance on ice. In this historical image from a private collection, we see a skater executing acrobatic moves with precision and elegance. Their graceful movements depict the artistry of skating while showcasing the physical prowess required for such feats. The skater's fluidity and poise are truly mesmerizing. The photograph was originally taken by E Meerkamper in Davos, Switzerland - an iconic location known for its winter sports heritage. It served as an illustration for Manfred Curry's book "The Beauty of Skating" published in 1935 by John Miles. This image not only captures the essence of figure skating but also reflects the beauty ideal prevalent during that era. The combination of dance-like choreography and athletic ability is awe-inspiring, reminding us of how sport can be elevated to an art form. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported to a time when ice-skating was not just a recreational activity but also an elegant performance filled with wonderment. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst freezing temperatures, true beauty can emerge on ice through skillful movement and sheer determination.
