Sailing on Ice - A Bizarre Winter Spectacle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Sailing on Ice (Colour Litho)" takes us back to a peculiar winter sports event that once graced Lake Mugel near Berlin. The image captures the essence of an exhilarating competition where competitors sail sleighs across the frozen lake, defying gravity and convention. In this extraordinary scene from January 10,1926, we witness women skaters turned sailors as they navigate their way through icy terrain. With the wind at their backs and determination in their eyes, these brave souls glide effortlessly over the frozen surface while steering with precision. The frozen lake becomes a canvas for this strange yet thrilling game of skill and strategy. As spectators watch in awe, it is clear that sailing on ice has become more than just a sport; it is now a form of entertainment that captivates both participants and observers alike. Achille Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures the spirit of this unique pastime. His attention to detail brings out the vibrant colors against the stark white backdrop, emphasizing both beauty and danger within this wintry landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to a time when leisurely pursuits were filled with adventure and excitement. It serves as a reminder that even in freezing temperatures, human ingenuity can create moments of pure joy and wonderment.
