EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the joyous spirit of Russians as they indulge in an exhilarating ride on an Ice Mountain. Dating back to 1836, this woodcut image showcases the ingenuity and love for winter sports that has long been embedded in Russian culture. In cities like St Petersburg and Moscow, where icy winters prevail, artificial sledge runs were constructed to provide public amusement. This particular scene depicts a group of Russians eagerly gliding down the snow-covered slopes, their faces beaming with excitement and laughter. The crisp white snow contrasts beautifully against the dark outlines of buildings in the background, creating a picturesque winter wonderland. The sheer thrill emanating from each individual is palpable; their arms flung wide open as they embrace both speed and adventure. It's evident that these ice mountains served not only as sources of entertainment but also as platforms for fostering camaraderie among friends and family during those chilly months. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when simple pleasures brought immense happiness. It serves as a reminder of how sport can unite people across generations and cultures while celebrating the unique beauty found within nature's icy embrace.
