EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and experience the thrill of Edwardian skiing in the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland, as depicted in this photograph from 1912. The image, captured by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News (ILN), showcases the spirit of adventure and love for winter sports that has endured through the centuries. Men and women, dressed in their finest sporting attire, brave the cold weather and snow-covered terrain with determination and grace. The women don elegant fur coats and hats, their faces rosy from the chill, while the men wear heavy woolen coats, knitted scarves, and felt hats. Each holds a pair of traditional wooden skis, their expressions a mix of concentration and excitement. In the background, a sleigh waits patiently, ready to transport the skiers back to the warmth of their chalets. The snow-capped mountains loom in the distance, a testament to the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss Alps. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when winter sports were just beginning to gain popularity and the allure of the mountains called to the adventurous spirit. It is a reminder that, despite the passage of time, the joy and thrill of skiing in the snowy landscapes of Switzerland remains unchanged.
