EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Winter Wonderland in Old Switzerland: Edwardian Ice Skaters on Lake Murren, 1912" In this enchanting photograph from the early 20th century, we are transported back in time to the picturesque Swiss Alps village of Murren during the winter season. The serene beauty of the snow-capped mountains is reflected in the icy waters of Lake Murren, where a group of Edwardian men and women gracefully glide on their antique ice skates. The elegance and sophistication of the Edwardian era are evident in the traditional attire worn by the skaters. Ladies don long, flowing dresses with fur collars and gentlemen wear tailored coats and top hats, bundled up against the cold weather. The crisp, clear air and the pristine white landscape create a magical atmosphere, as the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The simple pleasure of ice skating on a frozen lake was a popular pastime during the winter months in Switzerland. The Bernese Oberland region, with its stunning vistas and mild winters, was a favorite destination for travelers seeking a taste of the Alpine experience. The use of traditional wooden skis and ice skates, reminiscent of a bygone era, adds to the charm of this image. As we admire the beauty of this winter scene, we are reminded of the simple joys of nature and the enduring allure of the Swiss Alps. This photograph is a testament to the timeless appeal of winter sports and the enchanting beauty of Switzerland during the colder months. This evocative image, taken in 1912, is part of the extensive archives of the ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, and is now available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library.
