A New Sport in the Alps - Summer Bobsleighing in Switzerland
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, captured by Kate Hayllar and preserved in a private collection, transports us back to the summer of 1913. In this delightful scene, holidaymakers from Great Britain have ventured into the majestic Swiss Alps to indulge in a thrilling new sport - bobsleighing. As the sun shines brightly over the picturesque mountains, tourists clad in their finest leisure attire eagerly line up for their turn on the sleek wooden sledges. With excitement filling the air, they brace themselves for an exhilarating descent down winding alpine tracks specially designed for this unique summertime activity. The British visitors are clearly enthralled by this novel experience amidst breathtaking scenery. Their laughter and cheers echo through valleys as they navigate sharp turns and steep slopes with sheer delight. This fusion of adrenaline-pumping adventure and natural beauty epitomizes what makes holidays in Switzerland so unforgettable. Hayllar's masterful engraving skillfully captures every detail of this momentous occasion. The image showcases not only a newfound passion but also reflects British culture intertwining with European traditions. Over a century later, we can still appreciate how this extraordinary pastime brought together people from different nations and backgrounds to create cherished memories against nature's awe-inspiring backdrop. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, let it serve as a reminder that even during times of great change, human ingenuity finds ways to blend leisure and exploration seamlessly – leaving an indelible mark
