EDITORS COMMENTS
Cutting a Figure, a Christmas Scene on the Ice a Hundred Years ago (litho) captures the nostalgic charm of winter festivities from days gone by. This black and white lithograph, created by Edward Read in 1910, transports us back to a time when ice skating was the epitome of holiday merriment. The scene depicts a frozen lake adorned with joyful skaters gracefully gliding across its shimmering surface. The figures are dressed in elegant attire reminiscent of the late 19th century, adding an air of sophistication to this wintry tableau. Laughter fills the crisp air as families and friends come together to celebrate Christmas in this idyllic setting. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we can almost feel the chill of the icy breeze against our cheeks and hear the sound of blades carving intricate patterns into the frozen canvas beneath them. It is a snapshot frozen in time, capturing not only a moment but also an entire era's spirit. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic magazine on December 27th, 1902. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers even today, reminding us that some traditions never fade away. 'Cutting a Figure' serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into history—a reminder that joyous moments shared on ice have always been cherished during Christmastime.
