This print captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing the elegance and excitement of ice skating as a recreational sport during the late 19th century.

The black and white format adds a timeless charm to this group portrait, featuring both male and female skaters gracefully gliding across the glistening ice. Indoor leisure activities were gaining popularity during this era, with ice skating becoming an increasingly fashionable pastime for Europeans. In Britain specifically, it was seen as a symbol of refinement and sophistication among high society. As we admire this remarkable print from Hulton Archive's collection, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while also appreciating our shared love for winter sports.
