EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Swiftly we glide, " captured by artist Ethel Parkinson in 1912, a young couple gracefully glides across the icy surface while seated on a snow-chair. The image beautifully encapsulates the joy and freedom of winter's embrace. As they swiftly move across the frozen landscape, their bodies seem to merge with the chair, creating an almost ethereal scene. Their expressions are filled with exhilaration and pure delight, as if time stands still in this moment of shared bliss. The contrast between their dark clothing against the pristine white snow creates a striking visual impact. It is evident that Parkinson skillfully composed this photograph to highlight not only the couple but also their surroundings - nature's own masterpiece. This timeless image transports us back to a simpler era when outdoor activities were cherished moments for connection and adventure. It serves as a reminder of how love can flourish even amidst cold temperatures, symbolizing resilience and unity in facing life's challenges together. Ethel Parkinson's artistic talent shines through her ability to capture both movement and emotion within one frame. This remarkable piece from Mary Evans Prints Online invites us to imagine ourselves gliding alongside this young couple, experiencing firsthand the thrill of swift motion on ice during wintertime.
