EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Picturesque Swiss races" takes us back to a unique sporting event in Switzerland during the winter season. The image, captured by Achille Beltrame, showcases an extraordinary spectacle where horse-drawn roller skates with special irons glide effortlessly on icy surfaces. In order to avoid interrupting traditional horse-racing meetings during the colder months, the Swiss ingeniously devised this thrilling novelty. As depicted in the illustration for Courier Sunday in December 1919, these specially trained horses and their riders confidently navigate a course designed for this exhilarating sport. The picturesque backdrop of snow-covered mountains adds to the enchantment of this scene. The crowd gathers at the hyppodrome, cheering on their favorite racers as they speed through the track. The combination of winter sports and equestrianism creates a truly remarkable experience that captivates both participants and spectators alike. Beltrame's artistic skills shine through as he captures every detail of this thrilling moment - from the determination on each jockey's face to the gracefulness of these magnificent animals. This artwork not only celebrates athleticism but also highlights Switzerland's ingenuity when it comes to embracing its snowy landscape for entertainment purposes. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Switzerland's most fascinating sporting events - an unforgettable fusion between tradition and innovation amidst breathtaking mountain scenery.
