This print titled "Ice Mountains, the artificial sledge runs" takes us back to a bygone era in Russian cities like St Petersburg and Moscow. The year is 1833, and winter has transformed these urban landscapes into thrilling playgrounds of icy wonder. Constructed solely for public amusement, these artificial sledge runs stand tall against the backdrop of snow-covered streets. The woodcut technique used to capture this moment adds a touch of nostalgia, enhancing our appreciation for the rich history it represents. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the crispness of the winter air and hear echoes of laughter reverberating through time. Intriguingly, this snapshot reveals how sport transcends seasons and geographical boundaries.

This photograph serves as a testament to Russia's enduring spirit in embracing winter sports as an integral part of its cultural fabric.
