EDITORS COMMENTS
Ice Hill, etched by the artist, published 1804 (colour litho) captures a vibrant scene of winter festivities and joy. In this print by John Augustus Atkinson, we are transported to a time when sliding down icy slopes was not just an activity but a cherished tradition. The image showcases a magnificent ice hill adorned with flags and surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd dressed in traditional costumes. A wooden scaffold forms a slanting staircase leading up to the top of the hill, where people eagerly await their turn for some thrilling tobogganing action. Amidst the excitement, we spot a royal academician guiding visitors on how to navigate the icy terrain safely. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and anticipation as children and adults alike queue up with their sleds in hand. This snapshot from history reminds us of the timeless joy that comes from embracing winter's wonders. It transports us back to an era when sliding down snowy hills was not only entertainment but also served as a communal celebration during carnivals or holidays. Atkinson's meticulous attention to detail brings this lively scene to life through his masterful use of color lithography. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into pastimes enjoyed centuries ago.
