A Girl in Green on the Slopes
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ada Leverton Bowley (circa 1920) This photograph captures the essence of winter sports in the early 20th century, as depicted in "A Girl in Green on the Slopes" by Ada Leverton Bowley. The image, dated around 1920, showcases a young girl gracefully navigating the snowy slopes with the help of a pair of wooden skis. Dressed in a green jumper and a matching hat, she exudes a sense of determination and joy as she glides down the mountain. Bowley, an accomplished English painter and photographer, masterfully captures the beauty and excitement of the sport, as well as the pristine winter landscape. The photograph's composition, with the girl positioned slightly off-center and the snowy mountains and trees in the background, adds depth and visual interest to the image. At the time this photograph was taken, skiing was still a relatively new and popular pastime for the upper classes in Europe and North America. The sport had gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thanks to the development of better equipment and increased accessibility. Bowley's photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of skiing and the joy it brings to those who embrace the winter season. This photograph is a beautiful and historic reminder of a bygone era, and a celebration of the simple pleasures of winter sports. Ada Leverton Bowley's "A Girl in Green on the Slopes" is a must-have for any collection of vintage winter sports imagery or for those who appreciate the history and artistry of photography.
