Skating Party, 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Harris & Ewing, showcasing a joyful scene of children and boys engaged in ice skating on a frozen pond. The image, taken in the early 1910s, captures the essence of winter leisure in America during that era. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, was likely taken at a country estate or a public park in the United States. The full-length portraits of the ice skaters reveal their determination and focus as they glide effortlessly on the icy surface. Boys in knitted hats and coats, some with their hands in their pockets, are seen in various stages of skating, from standing still to skating in pairs. The image is a testament to the pastime's popularity during that time, as ice skating was a common winter activity for people of all ages. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, expertly captured the spirit of the season, with the crisp air and the icy landscape adding to the overall charm of the scene. The photograph, titled "Skating Party, 1912," is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of simpler times when people found joy in the simple pleasures of life. The image is a reminder of the importance of cherishing the present moment and finding joy in the everyday experiences, much like the children and boys in the photograph did over a century ago. The photograph, taken in Washington D.C. or the surrounding district, is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the United States and the joy and wonder that can be found in the most ordinary moments of life. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, photography, or the simple joys of winter.
