EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Nottingham City Photos takes us back to the vibrant winter of 1954, where ice skating was not only a popular sport but also an avenue for fashion expression. The rectangular counter-card features a stunning full-length depiction of a woman gracefully perching on a ledge, exuding both elegance and confidence. Her navy blue jumper and white skirt create a striking contrast against the icy backdrop, showcasing the timeless allure of 1950s fashion. As she delicately balances on her ice skates, one cannot help but be drawn to her accessories that complete this enchanting ensemble. A stylish hat adorns her head with flair while protecting her from the chilly winds. Her gloves provide warmth without compromising style as she glides effortlessly across the frozen surface. However, what truly captures attention is the cigarette held between her fingers - an iconic symbol of sophistication during that era. This detail reminds us that even in moments of leisure and recreation, advertising had its place in society's consciousness. The image itself emanates nostalgia for simpler times when outdoor activities were cherished and embraced by all ages. It transports us to an era where John Player and Sons' association with tobacco products was inseparable from daily life; yet it is important to note that this mention does not imply any commercial use or endorsement. In essence, this print encapsulates more than just ice skating; it encapsulates an entire cultural moment frozen in time – one filled with gracefulness, fashion-forward choices, and an appreciation for both sportsmanship
