EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late Victorian era, specifically 1890, with its English newspaper advertisement for ice skates. The ad exudes a sense of nostalgia as it showcases a bygone era when winter sports were gaining popularity among the British elite. The image is beautifully preserved, capturing intricate details that transport us to a time when ice skating was not just a recreational activity but also an elegant social affair. The typography of the advertisement reflects the artistic sensibilities of that period, with its ornate lettering and elaborate design. As we gaze at this piece from The Granger Collection in New York, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping onto frozen ponds or gliding across icy lakes while wearing these vintage skates. It serves as a reminder of how fashion and leisure activities have evolved over time. While we may not know much about the company behind this particular advertisement, it's fascinating to see how advertising has been an integral part of society for centuries. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such advertisements and their historical significance. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history, this ICE SKATE print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to experience the elegance and charm of late Victorian England.
