EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Underwood Archives, we are transported back to the vibrant winter of 1922 in Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases a thrilling Models Ice Skating Contest that took place on January 26th. A group of talented Chicago models has fearlessly challenged their New York counterparts for an exhilarating ice skating tournament. Amidst the frozen backdrop, our attention is immediately drawn to the graceful figure of Agnes Verne, a renowned model and performer known for her extraordinary high jumps. With sheer determination etched on her face, she flawlessly executes her famous leap through the frosty air. The scene exudes an aura of excitement and friendly competition as both cities' finest models showcase their skills on ice skates. Spectators cheer from the sidelines while others glide gracefully in the background, adding depth to this historic moment frozen in time. This monochromatic photograph beautifully captures not only the spirit of active recreation but also serves as a testament to the historical significance of these early winter sports competitions.
