EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Sleighing, or Sledging" takes us back in time to the snowy landscapes of Russia. The image showcases a royal sleigh drawn by majestic horses, transporting a distinguished figure through the winter wonderland. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every line and stroke brings life to this frozen scene. The artist from the English School beautifully captures the essence of sledging in Russia during that era. The horses' powerful muscles are evident as they effortlessly glide across the snow-covered ground. Their breath creates delicate puffs of steam against the cold air, adding an ethereal touch to this picturesque moment. Intriguingly, this print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on January 5th, 1850. It offers us a glimpse into how people from different parts of Europe perceived Russian culture and transportation methods at that time. Through this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back centuries ago when sleighing was not only a mode of transport but also an elegant form of leisure for royalty and aristocracy alike. This image serves as a reminder of how art has the power to transcend time and bring history alive before our eyes.
