EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 25,1937, we are transported to the breathtaking slopes of Chamonix, Switzerland. Against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains, a fearless skier defies gravity as he leaps off the edge in an exhilarating display of acrobatics. The mid-air moment captured in this historic photograph is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The monochromatic image evokes a sense of nostalgia and takes us back to a time when winter sports were not just leisure activities but also daring feats that pushed the boundaries of human capability. With only one male figure visible in the frame, we witness his solitary pursuit of adventure amidst nature's icy embrace. As he soars through the crisp alpine air, ski poles held firmly in hand, it is impossible not to feel a surge of excitement and anticipation. The skier's motion frozen in time serves as a testament to both his skill and audacity. This vintage print from Underwood Archives allows us to glimpse into history while celebrating the spirit of winter sports. It reminds us that even on Christmas Day over eight decades ago, people sought out moments like these – moments filled with fun and adrenaline against a backdrop that remains timeless: Chamonix's majestic peaks covered in glistening snow.
