EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1900s captures a daring rider "swinging" his toboggan to round the "Church Leap" on the Cresta Run in St Moritz, Switzerland. The image exudes a sense of excitement and adventure as the rider navigates through the snowy landscape with skill and precision.
The backdrop of St Moritz adds to the charm of this historic moment, showcasing the beauty of Switzerland in all its glory. The snow-covered mountains and quaint village setting create a picturesque scene that is both timeless and enchanting.
This photograph, taken by Geoffrey Roland Balance (1874-1934), is a true testament to the thrill-seeking nature of early 20th-century sports enthusiasts. It perfectly encapsulates the spirit of exploration and risk-taking that defined this era.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back in time to an age where tobogganing was not just a pastime, but a way of life for those who sought out adrenaline-pumping adventures. The sheer joy and exhilaration on the rider's face serve as a reminder that sometimes, it's worth taking risks to experience moments of pure bliss.
In conclusion, this print is not just a visual representation of Switzerland in the 1900s; it is also a window into a world where courage and determination reigned supreme.
