EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "Skating Folies" takes us back to the vibrant world of leisure and recreation in the late 1800s. Created by renowned French artist Draner, also known as Renard Jules, this print captures a delightful scene set on an icy Parisian rink. The image portrays a bustling ice rink filled with both male and female skaters gracefully gliding across the frozen surface. The atmosphere is one of joy and merriment as these society members indulge in their favorite winter pastime. However, amidst the elegance and skill displayed by some, others find themselves succumbing to gravity's pull. With playful humor, Draner depicts moments of falling - a reminder that even in refined circles, mishaps are bound to happen. These unexpected tumbles add an element of charm to the composition while showcasing the human side behind these graceful figures. Through intricate details and vivid colors, this engraving transports us back in time when ice skating was not only a sport but also a social event where individuals from all walks of life could come together for shared enjoyment. Now preserved within Musee Carnavalet's collection at Musee de la Ville de Paris in France, this artwork serves as a window into an era long gone yet forever cherished. It reminds us that despite our differences or occasional missteps on life's slippery paths
