EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ski-Runners at Hotel Kosciusko" takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment in history when skiing was still in its infancy. The image, taken by an Australian photographer, showcases a group of ski-runners gathered outside the iconic Hotel Kosciusko. Located near Mount Kosciusko in New South Wales, Australia, this historic hotel served as a hub for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the excitement and camaraderie shared among these early pioneers of skiing. The skiers are dressed in traditional winter attire of that era - long coats, hats with fur trims, and sturdy boots. With their wooden skis strapped firmly to their feet, they exude both determination and joy as they prepare to embark on thrilling downhill runs. This photograph holds immense historical significance as it was originally used as an illustration for "Australia Unlimited" a book by Edwin J Brady published around 1916. It provides us with a glimpse into the rich sporting heritage of Australia while also showcasing the breathtaking beauty of its snowy landscapes. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, let us celebrate not only the skill and bravery displayed by these ski-runners but also recognize how far skiing has come since those early days on Mount Kosciusko.
