EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scenes of Parisian life: school for skaters" takes us back to the winter wonderland of 19th-century France. The engraving, created by Edouard Riou and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of a frozen pond in Paris where men and women gather to learn the art of skating. In this lively scene, we see individuals of all ages gracefully gliding on ice while others are caught in comical moments as they stumble and fall. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and camaraderie as these French skaters embrace both the joy and challenges that come with learning this popular winter sport. The image showcases not only the beauty of winter but also highlights the cultural significance placed on leisure activities during that era. It provides a glimpse into everyday life in Paris, where people would gather at local ponds or rinks to enjoy their favorite pastime amidst stunning surroundings. Through this digitally cleaned image from Album du Grand Journal, we can appreciate Riou's attention to detail and his ability to capture movement within a still medium. This enchanting piece serves as a reminder that even in colder months, there is always warmth found through shared experiences and embracing new skills.
